"Dear Friends,
I have been taking Anna's photos since she was a little girl. I watched her blossom into a beautiful dancer, only to watch her ravaged by the horrors of brain cancer, chemo and radiation; leaving her paralyzed, blind and with dementia. Through her ordeal, she and her family have taught others many lessons in faith, patience, tolerance and the power of love. I could not live with myself if I did not take this opportunity to reach out to so many people who may best be able to empathize. Mostly she has taught all of us that we are very lucky to be healthy. Anna will perform for us at the gala. Please give with your heart and help the Phoenix Rising dancer in my exhibit....Anna Mott.
Thank you.
I love you.
Keiko "

“Embodied Virtuosity: Dances from Disability Culture” A performance and academic presentation

“Embodied Virtuosity: Dances from Disability Culture”

A performance and academic presentation
by ALICE SHEPPARD

Internationally acclaimed contemporary dancer, Alice Sheppard, will perform two solo dances, accompanied by her lecture presenting the development, history, and theory of disability dance. Sheppard calls into question what we mean by virtuosity when we talk about disabled dancers and dance.
Instead of assessing the dancer's body, she considers the importance of beauty, disability history, and the world of disability arts and culture.
This event will be videotaped and will have CART, which is real-time captioning for accessibility. Also, in vivo, verbal descriptions of her movements will be available upon request.

Date: MARCH 23, 2014  @ 2PM
Location: Dance Studio
