  • The Solo on Crutches is the creation of performance artist Bill "the CrutchMaster" Shannon, who is known for his "Shannon technique" of dancing on crutches. This technique is a melding of skateboarding and street dancing styles with the use of modified underarm crutches.

    Shannon was diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (a painful condition affecting the development of the hips) at the age of five.

    He was originally asked to perform in Varekai, but declined.

  • What an amazing young man.
