Ablevision had the honor of interviewing members of GIMP, a revolutionary dance troupe made up of people with disabilities dancing alongside able-bodied dancers.
In part one, Ablevision crew members interview the cast on what its like dancing for GIMP.
GIMP examines the uncompromising ways we are often identified or defined by our physicality; an elegant landscape of portraits, illuminating limbs to accentuate uncommon beauty, mystery and grace; the ways in which our bodies support and rebel. GIMP confronts the audience with their preconceptions, challenging us to re-think accepted notions about dance, performance and body image. An exploration, that dives into the heart of difference, voyeurism and the unexpected.
This story was part of Ablevision's Ability in the Arts series, a grant funded by the VSA to showcase people with disabilities in the arts. Ablevision is a national, innovative, award winning show produced entirely by people with disabilities.
