The Dancing Disability Lab is returning with in-person dates planned for June 25-July 3, 2022 (pending the pandemic).

The Lab continues its commitment to support the growth of artistic community amongst dance artists with disabilities, advocating for aesthetic perspectives informed by diverse corporeal experience. Based on the feedback and experiences of the 20-21 Lab cohort, the Lab has been reimagined with a participant-leadership structure. The focus will be on sharing artistic practice, prompts for group movement and individual exploration, and questions for discussion, generated by artist participants and invited guests. The Lab is dedicated to providing an anti-racist, anti-ableist, non-binary, anti-ageist environment for all, and to building a diverse cohort of artist-participants.

India Harville, dancer/dance maker and equity advisor and dancer/choreographer Victoria Marks will facilitate the Lab.  Additional guest artists will be added.

Details:

- Facilities include a dance studio, a quiet room and a conference room.
- The Lab will supply nearby accessible accommodations and address all studio and discussion-based access needs with professional providers.
- All artist participants will receive a stipend and will have their travel and accommodations covered.
