THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW NOW: Reflections on 10 Years of All Bodies Dance Project (2025)

 

Launched:

September 27, 2025 

​

About:

A collection of interested community members responded to the invitation to reflect on what we want others to know about All Bodies Dance Project, and their words make up this book. Throughout this publication, contributors will refer to events, activities and projects without giving the full history or context.

​

Like in all our work, our community responded in diverse, surprising and delightful ways. In this collection, we learn not only about the different ways All Bodies Dance Project fits into people's lives, but also about the people themselves who make All Bodies Dance Project what is it. They are dancers, allowing themselves to be seen and known through their choices, this time in writing. We love the way their writings complement each other to give an impression of the what who and how of All Bodies Dance Project, and we hope you do too.
