Disability And Dance Combine In "DESCENT"

MANCC

Andromeda and Venus sound like great characters to build a dance around.  Now add wheelchairs. 

That is exactly what the art/architecture/social justice group is doing with its work "DESCENT." 

The piece will have its West Coast debut at on Friday (September 29), after Kinetic Light spends five days in residence at Crater Renaissance Academy in Central Point.  We hear about the difficulties in creating and staging the piece, and how the high school students at Crater participate in the process.
