Join DanceAbility Detroit for an afternoon of movement and sound improvisation at the DIA on Thursday, August 14, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

We’ll gather at 1 p.m. inside the museum’s Great Hall. At this “All Aboard” spot, we’ll get to know one another through movement and sound improvisation with our live musician, King Sophia. After a bathroom break, we’ll head outdoors (weather permitting) to the sculpture located to the left of the John R entrance. We’ll wrap up by 4 p.m., though you're welcome to leave earlier if needed.

Wear shades of blue since we are the water and the boat flowing through.

Dancers of different races, ages and genders are aboard an imaginary sailboat with green sails and a red mast flag under three museum arches. Waves ripple past one dancer joyfully extending his arms from his wheelchair, another standing with her arms outstretched, and two more making shapes with their arms and legs.
