Film: Making the Leap: Dancer to Choreographer
FilmResource
Are you a dancer wanting to develop your own choreographic practice? In this short film, we speak to disabled artists during a Europe Beyond Access laboratory that specifically focused on developing new choreographic skills and approaches. Many of the artists have experience as performers but are now interested in building their careers as choreographers in their own right.
