Actual Lives Performance Project - Disability Culture with a Texas Twang
Since August of 2000, Actual Lives has been making theatre with a focus
on the lived experience of disability. Now in its seventh year, Actual Lives
continues to be Central Texas' own and only ensemble dedicated to crip theatre
with attitude. Sponsored by VSA arts of Texas, Austin's award-winning Actual
Lives Performance Project is a motley crew of disabled performers who make
comic yet thoughtful theatre from the raw material of everyday life. Trying
hard not to be inspirational, Actual Lives pokes fun at things that are
supposed to be serious, speaks publicly about things that are usually private,
critiques popular culture, and generally tries to stir things up.
