a woman dancing in a wheelchair, arms thrown above her head, spine arching and curving sideways. Dancing shouldn't be restricted to people on feet, people who can see, people who are young and thin, or people who can perform all the moves. Our bodies in motion insist that the terms dance and dancer be redefined. Quote by Simi Linton. A documentary film by Christian von Tippelskirch and Simi Linton. November 13th, 6:00 pm at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center 1314 Harris Avenue in Fairhaven. Tickets at kuntzandco.org.
