    From the book of 『Breadth of Bodies - Discussing Disability in Dance』

    “ Disabilities are not familiar to people outside the circle of the disabled dance art like its identity, culture, politics, and aesthetic elements, and critics often fail to recognize or understand the training behind the choreography. ”

    “ For a decade, I’ve been trying to convince numerous investors, critics, and journalists that what we are doing is a dancing, not a treatment. ”

    “ I wanted to take a look at on why, even after 30 years, artistry does not exist in this field and what we can do about it. ”

    “ We should realize that we are physically integrated. Dance, by itself, is a form of art and a form of art is worthy of occupying its own seat in that field. ”

    “ What happened when many people saw the work for the first time was that they were not focused on the disabilities. I do not think the disabilities are separated from the dance and I do not want them to be. ”

    Emmaly Wiederholt
