The show consists solely of female choreographed works from Abilities's own Founder & Director Ellice Patterson and Lauren Sava, as well as guest choreographers Louisa Mann and Leslie Taub of NYC, danced by the Abilities Dance. The show also features pieces by youth from Abilities's community partner, Our Space Our Place, an after-school program for blind and low-vision youth in Boston Public Schools (BPS). The show will have audio descriptions created by Kathryn Boland and Amber Pierce. The show will also have CART interpretation. Questions can be emailed to [email protected].
