Experiencing art is a negotiation between instigator and participant, not necessarily bound to a technical medium. Intentional design processes can help us make better art and better experiences. Grounded in disabled understandings of the value of multiplicity of embodiment and experience, choreographer, designer, and engineer Laurel Lawson’s talk moves from transdisciplinary artmaking and decentered design practice, to equitable aesthetic accessibility and technology ethics and leadership.

Lawson is a transdisciplinary artist making work that imagines new kinds of experience, reinterprets traditional stories, and questions cultural assumptions. Featuring synthesistic mythology and partnering, her work includes both traditional choreography for disabled and nondisabled artists and novel ways of extending and creating art through technology and design. Her independent choreographic, teaching, and production work can be found at rosetree.org.
