The project is dedicated to promoting accessibility in dance education at universities by developing disability-inclusive approaches to movement training. It was founded jointly by Laura Ahumada García, Hannah Dewor, Annie Edwards, and Pihla Jaala. The team brings together dancers with and without disabilities and combines life experience with professional expertise to develop curriculum content and educational resources for institutions and independent artists who wish to strengthen inclusive practices.
In this workshop, we will present the findings and remaining questions from our research lab, which took place as part of a fellowship in September 2025 funded by the Hessian Theater Academy. During the residency, we explored our individual movement competencies through the lenses of accessibility, translation, and consent. As part of the F°LAB Festival, the collective will present movement exercises and encourage reflection on how we can expand our approaches to dance.
