Disability, language, and access in professional dance

Breadth of Bodies brings together interviews with 35 professional dance artists with disabilities from 15 countries. Questions about training, access, and press give the collection a clear focus on how dancers experience the professional field and how they are described within it. The project is spearheaded by dancer and writer Emmaly Wiederholt and dance educator Silva Laukkanen, with illustrations by visual artist Liz Brent-Maldonado. Its subject connects dance practice with representation and the conditions that shape participation in the field.
