FEATURED CREATIVE: MAY 2009
At nineteen years of age it happened like the flick of a dime says Rodney Bell, who, as a result of a motorcycle accident, lost feeling and function from the nipple-line down. Rodney is Maori (Ngati Maniapoto) and has lived in Berkeley, California USA since July 2007.
NZSL translation and transcript coming soon.
In association with Creative New Zealand.
Recorded at Momentum09 on February 27th, 2009, Rodney demonstrates his passion and talent in a demonstration with dance partner, Olivia Eng.
On 24 March 2009 Rodney won an Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Performance - Ensemble. The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards, or Izzies, were created in 1984 and are designed to celebrate the unique richness, diversity and excellence of Bay Area dance. Award recipients are recognized for their outstanding achievements over a 12 month period from Sept 1 through Aug 31 each year. Learn more about the Izzies awards at www.izzies.org.
To hear Rodney share, with wit, humour and unguarded honesty, his diverse experience as a Maori disabled man who discovered the international world of dance, visit www.creativemomentum.org
