A Conversation about Accessibility in the Arts Presented by ALL ARTS
For those who are interested, the conference continues from 5 to 7 PM with a movie screening and discussion. This portion will be streamed on ALL ARTS, YouTube and Facebook. The virtual screening will feature One + One Make Three, created by acclaimed disability arts ensemble Kinetic Light. This experimental documentary dance film takes viewers behind the scenes, into the studio, and into the air with the ensemble. Kinetic Light dancers partner, spin, and soar as they reflect on art, dance, and disability as a creative force.
