Founded by Alice Sheppard in 2016, Kinetic Light is a disability arts ensemble working in the disciplines of art, technology, design, and dance. Through nuanced investment in the histories, cultures, and artistic work of disabled and Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), the company promotes intersectional disability as a creative force and access as an aesthetic critical to creating transformative art and affirming the disability arts movement. Kinetic Light artists include Laurel Lawson, Michael Maag, and Alice Sheppard. They are joined by a roster of artists on a project basis and are supported by a talented team of administration and production professionals who work behind the scenes.

About LAB:

LAB is an online creative community for disabled artists, offering monthly gatherings on Zoom. The program includes a Hangout and an Open Call each month. The Hangouts are a social space where disabled artists can casually chat online, connect, and meet each other. The Open Calls provide a flexible platform for one artist a month to share work, host a conversation, or lead a workshop of their choosing.

The Co-Producer is an integral part of the Kinetic Light team, focusing on producing and facilitating virtual disability arts gatherings while leading the growth of an online LAB community of disabled artists. We seek a creative, kind, and adaptable person to collaborate with our Producer in managing and facilitating LAB. We hope to work with someone who is engaged with the disability community, has experience in access coordinating/space holding, and is interested in continuing to gather socially online.
