A Quest for Equality

Using stories of equality, this residency mixes words and movement to explore humanity and the differences and similaritites-both emotional and historical-between people with disabilities and people of color. Using sensory and expressive details, students will express, through movement, stories of real people throughout the civil rights and disability rights movements. Students will gain an understanding of the many historic events in the lives of people with diabilitites and people of color and how this has lead to the equality that we enjoy today. This original Dancing Wheels Residency addresses Ohio Content Standards in both the Fine-Arts and Non-Arts Curriculum culminates with a performance for family and friends.
