The Body Discourse Project

Students from Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre’s 2016 M.F.A. class, Trajectory, an arts program for adults with disabilities, and Synapsis, an experimental art collective, have come together to present The Body Discourse Project: a performance about the physical and mental experience of the human body performed by artists with and without diagnosed mental and physical disabilities. The project serves as a platform for those living with disabilities to freely speak and express themselves as well as creating a new framework for understanding the ability/disability continuum through words, gesture and music.
