As always!
Not sure reply 14. I am an ex-professional theatre, then start Falmouth School of art and lead not best word but something like that - where we have two handicapped regular dances
Working together all ages and abilities creative.
Always need to see these events in person to fully understand
So full of talent

I alreadty understand inclusive arts but its always a joy to see and have it reinforced

already familiar
First time with expressive dancing

can see what can be achieved
Everyone being equal and able
As i havent experienced many inclusive arts events - only Echoes dance co . very much enjoyed it and want to thank the cast for their hard work and professionalism :)
Everyone regardless of availability played an integral and important part
Enhanced knowledge. Great to see all involved
my wife runs an inclusive cornish dance co. it shows people who wouldnt have a chance to perform in public
just love seeing everyone together exploring universal themes of humanity - we are all the same at heart

if i have a lift with a friend
