BECOMING UNLIMITED

From intense rehearsals to tearful goodbyes, Becoming Unlimited documents the creation of a multi-ability dance production. Behind the scenes, the team confronts difficult realizations; after the production, participants talk about its impact. As we witness both the struggles and the exhilaration, viewers are challenged to question perceptions of artistry, ability, and integration.
