| Summary: | This video features five pieces of different lengths choreographed by DanceAbility founder Alito Alessi. Three are danced by Alessi and Blackwell; two are solos by Blackwell, who has cerebral palsy. In these pieces, the dancers break down barriers and explore new avenues of communication between people with and without disabilities. The video redefines ideas about what dance is and proves that creative movement is for everyone. The dancers playfully overturn wheelchairs, crutches and expectations. See our Choreography and Presentations page for descriptions of several of the pieces: Wheels of Fortune, From There and Back Again, and Tango Tangle. Two of the pieces include music composed and played by Emery Blackwell using a synthesizer adapted to be played with his feet. |
