Dance Place’s Dance & Disability Residency strives to support the growth and vision of artists who identify as disabled. This collaborative partnership aims to increase Dance Place’s capacity for accessibility practices while creating an environment of research and growth for the artists. 

In its second year, Dance Place will support Donald Lee’s work Element of Danger / Donald / untitled specific-specific performance.  A public film screening and site-specifc performance/movement installation will accumulate at the end of the week inviting community members to engage in dialogue with the artist about their process, research, and experience at Dance Place. 

This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Join us for Donald’s Artists Engagements! Even though the events are free, RSVP to reserve your spot as the tickets will serve as your entry pass.
