Each population she encountered\, she saw the essences of what movement provides: joy\, freedom\, peace\, and an understanding of the human connection that is felt through the mind/body/spirit connection. She received her masters degree in Dance/Movement Therapy & Counseling from Columbia College Chicago in 2009\, which taught her how to approach movement from a different lens. In Chicago\, she was able to work with a group of high school students from the westside through a particular style of movement called footworking. Footworking originated in Chicago and allows the people who are dancing to express what they have been through in their lives. Currently\, she is working as a Dance Therapist at Head Start in St.Paul\, MN and for Young Dance in Minneapolis\, MN. Movement has no boundary\, it is limitless\, even in stillness a dance is being created & with each breath a story is being told through movement. \nAngelique Lele has been doing theater for most of her life. Performing in the requisite school plays as a child and then\, when she was older and felt she really wanted to make a statement\, co-founding an all women’s theater company called Toxic Shock Stage. In TSS\, a Los Angeles based theater company\, the women wrote\, produced and directed all their own work. In LA\, Angelique was introduced to the aerial arts and began to do trapeze and silks. It was only a matter of time before she became interested in performing. She began performing around LA and then Minneapolis when she moved to town in 2008. In 2012\, an accident while she was training on the trapeze paralyzed her. Introduced to the beautiful world of integrative dance in 2014\, Angelique is excited to have the chance to begin performing again and open to the challenge of exploring a new physicality on stage. She feels excited to be performing with Cary and Kathleen. \nKathleen Pender grew up in Northfield and received her B.A. in Dance from St. Olaf College. Kathleen teaches creative ballet\, ballet\, tap\, and modern classes at the Northfield Arts Guild and assists classes with Young Dance in Minneapolis. She is also Company Manager with performance company Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater and performs for Minneapolis-based choreographer Taja Will. With deep passion for dance education and performance\, Kathleen is grateful to be teaching for the Northfield Arts Guild’s dance program\, which served as her dance foundation and fostered her development as an artist. Kathleen is looking forward to performing with Angie and Cary and returning to the Arts Guild stage. \n\nBUZZ! The Musical. Script and concept by Sara Pillatzki-Warzeha and Michelle Pillatzki Ahmed\, with music and lyrics by Lauren Mikeal Weber.

ArtMakers combines a Career Arts Group and a College Arts Apprentice Program to bring artists with disabilities together with students from the colleges and other artists from the community to create and share their work. \n“Over the Rainbow” is a story montage that blends works by Robert Munsch\, Maurice Sendak\, and L. Frank Baum with the music of Paul Williams\, Harold Arlen and Edgar Harburg\, and Steven Schwartz. ArtMakers is grateful to stand on the shoulders of such wonderful artists. \n\nDance piece\, “Three Little Birds” from Emma Hilson\nEmma Hilson is a 10 year old who is new to the MN Dance world has always enjoyed dancing\, whether by herself or in front of a group of others.  She has recently performed  in the Arts Access Chautauaua “Here I am” concert.\n Dance piece\, “Uptown Funk\,” performed by Michael Cohn (music by Bruno Mars)\nMichael Cohn was born in Iowa and raised in the Twin cities.  Originally he started dancing as a form of therapy and socialization in 2010 and found over time that he has learned techniques and skills that have broadened his scope of dance.

The final dance will challenge movement in a new way for Mike.\n\nMichael Cohn was born in Iowa and raised in the Twin cities.  Originally he started dancing as a form of therapy and socialization in 2010 and found over time that he has learned techniques and skills that have broadened his scope of dance. He brings a slight twist with his dancing as he utilizes a walker and sometimes a dance wheelchair to help him move across the dance floor.Mike Cohn recently stared a dance company. I Can Dance You Can Dance. \nBrian J. Evans is a Professional Performing Human. For the past eight years\, Evans has had the privilege and pleasure of engaging in a vast array of fields. Teaching in public and private institutions\, working with healthcare providers in the US and abroad\, performing as singer\, actor\, dancer in churches\, theaters\, basements\, outdoor stages\, any space provided that encourages the arts to thrive. An artist striving for social justice\, Evans places high value in process and product\, having had most of his training out in the ‘Arts field’ of the Twin Cities\, working with over 50 artistic directors on more than 200 projects from solo endeavors to collaborating as a self-employed professional performer & teaching artist. Primarily as a principle dancer and musical director for Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater\, Evans has continued to investigate the idea that connections exist between us all and it’s the responsibility of the Arts to rediscover those connections\, highlight them to allow us to feel holistically human. \nJ-Sun is a teacher and community leader in the Twin Cities; a competitor and an academic\, recipient of the 2013 Sage Award for Outstanding Performance and consultant for The Annual Groundbreaker Battle. He instructs traditional movement with historical moments as a veteran practitioner of breaking and toprocking. \nNarrative storytelling by Amy Salloway \nActor/writer/storyteller Amy Salloway has been called “kick-ass funny and achingly poignant\,” “raw and fearless\,” and “gifted at mining humor where others might see only darkness”.  Her three autobiographical solo comedies (“Does This Monologue Make Me Look Fat?\,”  “So Kiss Me Already\, Herschel Gertz!\,” and “Circumference”) all began their lives at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and have gone on to tour to Fringes\, theatres\, colleges\, communities and festivals across the US and Canada\, winning some pretty nice awards along the way; her two-person play\, “Entwined”\, hopes to travel beyond Minnesota eventually as well.  Amy has contributed stories to MPR’s “In the Loop” radio show\, CBC’s “Definitely Not The Opera” (sort of the Canadian equivalent of “This American Life”) and the national podcast “Risk!”.  She was a founding member of the popular narrative collective Rockstar Storytellers\, a two-time recipient of the VSA Artist Initiative grant\, and has won the St. Paul Moth and the SlamMN! story slam once each.  Amy teaches classes in memoir\, creative writing\, storytelling and other more specific subtopics through Minneapolis Community Ed and sometimes Story Arts Minnesota\, and performs regularly on just about every spoken-word-oriented stage in Minneapolis.  For even more info\, check out Amy’s embarrassingly stagnant website www.amysalloway.com\, or the much more responsibly-managed www.facebook.com/awkwardmomentonstage. \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\n\n\n\nThe Artists Disabling Assumptions exhibition is sponsored by:
