slp (slip) // Madness & Rhythm: a making workshop

What even is madness? Is it mind-bending, inspiring, grounding, pejorative, dangerous? What's rhythm? Is it regular, comforting, soothing, energizing? Can it be jagged, seasonal, punctuated, harsh? Can that be good? This class explores broader conceptions of both rhythm and Madness—including but not limited to Mad Pride and resistance to psychiatric systems and saneism—and how Madness can be a liberatory practice/process/identity/state of mind. We'll explore how rhythm manifests and can help us process, express, accept, cope with our human experiences (Mad or not!)...and possibly even resist oppressive social structures.

Open to anyone, whether they identify as Mad, have explicit psychiatric or diagnostic experiences, or not. Open to makers of any and all genres and mediums.
