Disability & dance cited as world-changing idea

One of Julia Moulden's world-changing ideas at The Huffington Post. (Pictured is the Gimp dance project.)


11. Disability and Dance
(Who said New Radicals could count -- consider this a late-breaking entry to my list of 10!) Check out this documentary about disability and dance, nominated for an EPIC Emerging Artist Award via the White House Project. Produced and directed by Christian von Tippelskirch and Simi Linton. "The film is a personal portrait of my life," Simi says, "And more broadly it is about disabled people's quest for equality, justice, and a place on the dance floor."
