Crip Scripts

Crip Scripts is a workshop series for writers who live with, move with, or write toward chronic illness, disability, and cripped embodiment. Across the session, we’ll explore how narrative itself can become a site of resistance — where coherence unravels, time loops or thickens, and bodies speak in registers beyond cure or clarity. Together, we’ll read texts that defy neat arcs of suffering and recovery, and experiment with our own modes of writing that make space for repetition, pain, interruption, pleasure, slowness, refusal, and transformation. Grounded in the principles of narrative cripping—a practice of destabilising normative storytelling structures—this workshop invites participants to write from the porous edges of their experiences, and to honour forms of knowledge produced through altered states, medical trauma, care entanglements, and crip time. Writers of all genres and backgrounds are welcome, especially those identifying as disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or sick. You don’t need to call yourself a writer to join — just bring a body, and a willingness to be with it on the page.
