"And what do you hope to achieve?" asked the consultant at Roehampton Hospital when Gina Levete proposed that she give weekly classes in creative movement to his young thalidomide and spina bifida patients. "Fun," she replied. Fun, and the emotional release that it brings, are what Gina believes to be lacking in the lives of those cut off from social communication by the restrictions of physical disability, mental handicap or imprisonment. Everyone, she says, is born with a sense of rhythm and responds naturally to music and movement, and in years of dedicated hard work she has proved her point. No Handicap to Dance describes how teachers of dance can use creative improvisation, mime and dance with different groups of handicapped people. Method classes and workshops are outlined in detail, with advice on special techniques for those with severe physical or mental disabilities. Gina holds her classes for able and disabled students alike; the fact that some of them may have only limited mobility does not prevent them from expressing themselves in some way, even if they can only nod their heads or tap their feet. Gina's first small efforts have now grown into a wide-ranging organisation called Shape, with branches throughout Britain and Europe, working to bring artists of all disciplines into a network serving disadvantaged people and helping them to share the enjoyment of participation in many creative activities. From initial scepticism, institutions have come to recognize the visible benefits that creative expression can bring to people whose lives are often without beauty or freedom. -- from back cover.
