About Me
Welcome! Thanks for visiting me on the internet. I'm Julia Havard, a non-binary white disabled femme who loves teaching, writing, dancing, and connecting with community. I create multi-disciplinary performance work, grounded in my background in dance. I also write across the fields of Performance Studies, Critical Disability Studies, and Queer Studies. My work as a (broken) whole aims to highlight the cultural labor of multiply marginalized performers and activists, to value queer and trans crip sexual culture as essential, and to move however slowly and imperfectly toward a more just world.
