Erin Ball and Maxime Beauregarde

A family portrait of Maxime and Erin, two white Disabled nonbinary neuro non-conforming (neurodivergent) humans, sitting on a couch in bright and vibrant outfits. Between them is a pile of round plushies of various sizes which they affectionately call their kids. Though seemingly inanimate, each of the kids has a unique personality and they are very much alive to Erin and Maxime. Everyone in the photo smiles. Leaning against the couch are Erin’s prosthetic legs and Maxime’s forearm crutches. Photo by Benjamin Laird.

Duo aerial fabric performance photo taken through translucent glass windows, inside the lobby of the Isabel Bader Centre for Performing Arts. Lit by performance lighting and the moon, Erin and Maxime, two Disabled queer circus artists, are about a story high in the air wrapped in red aerial fabric. The backs of the aerialsts are to the camera, Maxime is just below Erin, spreading open a piece of the fabric like a sail below them. In the background is the audience, gazing at the artists, huddled together, many recording with phones in hand. Photo by Liz Cooper taken at the 2025 Creative City Summit.

In the late fall of 2023 and again in November of 2025, VibraFusionLab has had the great pleasure of hosting Erin and zir partner Maxime Beauregarde for two 3-day workshop. During this time they explored technologies that we offered such as motion tracking sensors, the accelerometer and several vibrotactile devices. Disabled musician Andrew Heule also joined us for a day of adding his percussion expertise. Plans are in place to continue to work with them towards the production of a new collaborative performance. 
This video is a brief overview of the workshop.

Bio:Erin Ball (ze/zir) and Maxime Beauregard (they/them) are InterComplementary Journeys. They are both white, Queer, neuro non-conforming, and Disabled artists who seek to shift barriers in performance art. They are the creators of a course on Accessibility/Disability in Movement Practices. 
Both Erin and Maxime work as performers, coaches, choreographers, producers, accessibility consultants, and workshop facilitators. They are catalysts for change; empowering multiply marginalized Disabled artists, advocating for Disability-led art, challenging industry norms, and striving to create more accessible/welcoming spaces. Their work strives to reach as many people as possible with innovative artistry brought wherever they go.

​Erin is wearing a heart pulse monitor. The sound in the video is her heart pulse that changes rate as zir and Maxime go through their routine. Erin is doing zir aerial routine on suspended red fabric.

Maxime is wearing an accelerometer on his left ankle. The audio is a wind sound that responds to the speed and orientation of his movement. They are doing their aerial routine on a suspended metal hoop.

This video shows Andrew speaking into a microphone. An accelerometer is attached to the hoop which alters the frequency of Andrew's voice in relation to Erin's movement of the hoop.
