Wheelchair Dancers and Tuesday Youth Group, Cannock

Last night was one of those nights...

...when I remember why I am a dance artist

A roomfull of disabled young people between 12 and 18 dancing in duet and trio with a group of much older adults who use wheelchairs to dance in.. and have been doing so for 40years.

Laughter, movement, joy, communication... physicality, touch.

After a particularly tentative start to the evening, Sally and I got back into the car after the session had finished, looked each other in the eye and 'whooped' with absolute delight.
