Since 2023 I’ve been working on developing technique and curriculum for wheelchair dancers by wheelchair dancers that de-centered standing bodies/dancers as a reference point. Today I had a really great conversation about why this work is so critical given US/Canada relations at this moment.

I made something for this. If you’re in Toronto, go. If you’re not, you can still access my work from all over the world. Stay tuned.
