Breadth of Bodies: Discussing Disability in Dance

Breadth of Bodies seeks to investigate and dismantle the language and stereotypes often used to describe professional

dancers with disabilities. Spearheaded by dancer/writer Emmaly Wiederholt and dance educator Silva Laukkanen with illustrations

by visual artist Liz Brent-Maldonado, the team collected interviews with 35 professional dance artists with disabilities from 15

countries, asking about training, access, and press, as well as looking at the state of the field.
