The Body You Have - NJN/State of the Arts Showcase

Dancers with disabilities collaborate and perform with able-bodied dancers from the Roxey Ballet Company. An interview with Mark Roxey, co-founder of the Roxey Ballet, details the unique communication methods and principles that allow disabled students from the Matheny Medical and Education Centers Arts Access Program to choreograph and perform.

Renowned wheelchair dancer Kitty Lunn of Infinity Dance Theater performs a wheelchair duet with Mark Roxey from Roxey Ballet during a Wheels and Bodies in Motion concert at NYCs Joyce SoHo in June 2006.
