Restless Dance Theatre
The Company’s work is unexpectedly real, thought provoking, and clearly highlights why Restless Dance Theatre is a leader in disability arts. Without labelling their focus specifically as being on ‘disability art’,
Restless Dance Theatre contests the stereotypes of, and prejudices towards, disability with their innovative and provocative works. The award winning production of Intimate Space presented at the 2019 Seoul Street Arts Festival was extremely well received in South Korea. The world-renowned artistic director Michelle Ryan and her company worked with four Korean artists with disabilities and challenged current perceptions of disability in the country. The tour enabled the company to lay strategic foundations for cross-cultural understanding of disability arts.
