Z LiberacionlectureAgendaArtistic activitiesCome on through for the first in the Crip Earth (Re)generation (CERG) online talk and workshop series. Hosted by South African artist, writer and researcher Kopano Maroga (they/them), featuring our first guest: farmer, forager, archer, storyteller and ritualist Z Liberacion (they/he)! Let's learn together what art, disability and land work can teach us about repair.
Z Liberacion (they/he) is a child of Guna Yala, Panama and a full spectrum doula co-facilitating collective care spaces for healing, wellness & survival in Philadelphia, PA, Lenapehoking (native name: Lenni Lenape) on a 2 year old urban farm & Addison County, VT, N'dakinna (native name: Abenaki) on a 1 year old rural farm, focussing on Black & Brown, queer & transgender, disabled folks like themselves.
Crip Earth (Re)Generation (CERG) is an artistic research project that seeks to nurture and explore relations of repair at the crossroads of artistic practice, disability and our connection to the land. The project is led by artist, researcher, dramaturg and lecturer Bauke Lievens in collaboration with a team of artistic co-researchers Khadija El Kharraz Alami, Kopano Maroga, Louis Vanhaverbeke, Peter Aers, Tineke De Meyer and Tumba Kiambi.
The online talk and workshop series is imagined as a space to hear from and work with practitioners working at the intersections of art, disability, land and repair.
The sessions are free to the public upon registration. We would love to have you with us.

The Circus Dialogues (continued) is an artistic research project into the question “How to continue?” within the circus field. From there, The Circus Dialogues (continued) thinks through sustainability, care and violence in circus. The project builds on two earlier research projects led by Bauke Lievens: Between being and imagining: Towards a methodology for artistic research in circus (2013-2017) and The Circus Dialogues (2018-2020).

Bauke Lievens (BE, 1985) works as a dramaturg, maker, teacher and artistic researcher in various performing arts disciplines. Bauke studied Theater Studies at the UGent and Philosophy of Contemporary Art at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (ES). Since 2012 she has been associated with the Drama programme at KASK & CONSERVATORIUM (Ghent) as a master mentor, artistic researcher and teacher. As a guest lecturer, she has been associated with the MA Contemporary Circus Practices at Uniarts (Stockholm, SE) since 2018. Her teaching practice has a strong focus on intersectional feminism, affect theory, gender, disability and critical black studies. Since 2013, Bauke has worked as artistic research and project coordinator of The Circus Dialogues, a set of artistic research projects that focus on the relationship between theory and practice in contemporary circus. She has published several texts and books on artistic research in contemporary circus, including Thinking Through Circus (APE) (2020, co-edited with Sebastian Kann, Quintijn Ketels & Vincent Focquet). As a dramaturg, she worked with Théâtre d'un Jour, (BE), Cie Un loup pour l'homme (FR), les ballets C de la B/Kaori Ito (BE), Tibaldus, (BE) Camille Paycha (BE), Floor Van Leeuwen/Schwalbe (NL) and Geert Belpaeme (BE), among others.
She is currently preparing the creation of Armour (2024) together with dancers Arno Ferrera (CH), Gilles Pollet (BE) & Charlie Phoenix Hession (UK). As a dramaturg, Bauke seeks to develop a practice for embodied dialogue. Since September 2022, she has been exploring other forms of embodied knowledge development such as tarot, peace, permaculture and Deep Democracy. In addition to her practice as a dramaturg, Bauke also creates her own work, such as the performances ANECKXANDER (2015, laureaut KBC Prize TAZ and Aerowaves) and Raphäel (2017) - both with circus artist and choreographer Alexander Vantournhout. In 2020, she won an Ultima in the Circus category for her work as a dramaturg, creator and artistic researcher. Bauke was a long-time member of the editorial board of Circus magazine, the broader editorial board of Etcetera and Rekto:Verso (2017-2024).
