The Way You Move Your Body

This mixed-ability dance/theatre piece exposes and dissolves disability prejudices. Both abled-bodied and disabled dancers guide the audience from a dark world of outcasts to a joyful world where difference is celebrated. It is an unsettling but eye-opening journey, leaving the audience cringing, laughing, crying, smiling, and questioning the way we conventionally perceive differently-abled people.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful.

There are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words.

The Way You Move Your Body was featured in The Daily Texan!

We're excited for the press, but we do want to note—though the caption says the piece incorporates dancers "with and without dance abilities," we want to maintain that this is incorrect.

All of the dancers in the piece have amazing dance abilities. Just because some are not able-bodied, does not mean they do not have dance abilities. In fact, the piece is about how dance is essential to every body, not just the abled-body.

Daily Texan, please take note.
