Shared Ability

In February of 2009, New Haven Ballet began a shared ability choreography project for children ages 10-17 who have physical disabilities and student dancers from New Haven Ballet. To facilitate the project, the Ballet is collaborated with Brad Roth and Dancing Day, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Milford, Connecticut whose mission is to promote shared ability workshops and performances.

Now in its third year, the goals of the program include increasing New Haven Ballet’s accessibility, creating an opportunity for New Haven Ballet dancers and children with disabilities to meet, interact, and share their different experiences and skills, and fulfilling the Ballet’s mission.
