Through music, dance, and words, we’ll be telling the story of a longing for deeper breath. The story of care and support, and the involvement of letting/pushing the person who needs care to take risks and face the dangers of life. The story of anger and how it can be used to unearth yourself from oppressive structures. The story of balancing a need for solitude and community. The story of accepting life as it is while simultaneously accepting that you can long and desire for more out of this life. This is the story of a Cripple who wants to Dance.
Gabriel Rodreick is a singer and songwriter with a C5 spinal cord injury. He has been performing since he was a young person growing up in Minneapolis, MN.

“Seeing A Cripple’s Dance was incredible on many levels - from the immediacy of the songs, to the aesthetic wonder of the performance, to the way I could feel the audience buzzing afterwards. I left feeling nourished in a way that is all too rare. This project is important. ”
