Yesterday went to see Bill Shannon perform at Headlands. Truly amazing to see someone developing a new dance lexicon based on creative adaptations of disability, with heavy influence of street dance/ skate culture...
Tragic and wonderful that the form is so specific to his particular flavor of physical problem- inspriring that he's created something so innovative and connected to contemporary american vernacular dance. Nothing better to play with one's internal prejudices about disability when you realize that the crippled guy is hot. (Wonder whatever happened to Melissa's brother??)
