Inclusive Arts News: Accessible dance streaming

Hard-hitting performance challenging stereotypes as a woman with disability through dance.

Disability is beautiful.

Announcing the accessible, on-demand performance challenging stereotypes of what it means to be a woman with disability through dance.

Now with captions and audio descriptions, you’re invited to be part of the conversation.

Because disability is beautiful, but the pressure we feel to be perfect is not.

Choreographed and performed by Bonnie Curtis, Limits wrenches audiences into the world of a grotesque creature struggling against her inner limitations and societal expectations. Bonnie draws on her own experiences with invisible disability and functional impairment to create a powerful performance that shows how quickly we judge the exterior.

Audiences are asked to confront how visible disability challenges our ideas of beauty as it plays out on stage. Sabotaged by her internal limitations, audiences experience the manifestation of her insecurity and self-hate.

For Bonnie, making the performance accessible to people with disability was about empowering them to take part in the conversation. She has personal experience with how these perceptions can impact and harm people.

“There’s this idea that dancers can’t have a disability because they can’t dance, and to be a woman with a disability is to be some kind of hideous creature. Unfeminine. Unwomanly. That’s the idea behind making the work (Limits). To express the other side that people don’t see at first glance.”
