- What are the economic realities for a disabled dance practitioner?
- Is the disabled dancing body more exposed to public consumption than the non-disabled body?
- How do we value dance made by and performed by disabled dancers?
- Can dance made by disabled artists find its rightful place in our cultural heritage?
"Dancers with disabilities encounter unique challenges. The professional dance community broadly supports the removal of labels such as ‘inclusive performance’. Such labels mark disabled dance artists out as ‘other’. Yet, disabled dance artists and performers like Claire Cunningham, Caroline Bowditch and David Toole are slowly making their mark upon the mainstream dance world. There is, however, a long way to go before disabled dances artists are fully integrated. The InVisible Difference project recognises this."
My mum works as a Teacher of the Deaf and I believe this could be a good choice as she can give an inside input on this topic.
I found a list online of dance companies that use disabled:
I also found a paper on "Barriers to dance training for
young people with disabilities" by Imogen J. Aujla 1 & Emma Redding.
I'm definitely going to give this a full read and find some questions within it.
