Spaces of Simultaneity

Spaces of Simultaneity are choreographic environments in which multiple and unpredictable timelines can unfold alongside one another. Instead of synchronization, togetherness emerges through coincidence, touch, and texture. Attuned to mood and sound, these spaces cultivate a practice of listening to and defending crip temporalities. This publication emerges from the doctoral research project All Late, All Babe at the Theater Academy of the Uniarts Helsinki. It explores crip time—a concept developed in crip activist contexts—as a choreographic strategy. Against chrononormative expectations of speed, productivity, and linear progress, the project asks how we can share time if we cannot share time. Through choreographic scores, interviews, and artistic writing, the research investigates how time is sensed and negotiated in performative settings. In spaces of Simultaneity, choreography becomes a continuous practice of listening to the hypodermic knowledges of bodies, exploring the avoidance of chrononormative timelines within the field of the aesthetics of access.
