This collection is the first book to focus on the intersection of dance,
disability, and the law. Bringing together a range of writers from
different disciplines, it considers the question of how we value,
validate, and speak about diversity in performance practice, with a
specific focus on the experience of differently-abled dance artists
within the changing world of the arts in the United Kingdom.
Contributors address the legal frameworks that support or inhibit the
work of disabled dancers and explore factors that affect their full
participation, including those related to policy, arts funding, dance
criticism, and audience reception.
