Scoliosis Short Dance Film

I am a professional dancer with Scoliosis.  I aim to make a creative, documentary style, short dance film. Telling my story of discovery and journey to acceptance.  I want to inspire conversation in the dance community and everywhere about scoliosis. Make it known that scoliosis will not stop you from living your life however you choose. 

During lock down I found myself with plenty of time to reflect on my career so far as well as look to the future. Having hidden my spine to the best of my ability until very recently, I decided to make a short clip exposing my back for the first time, an apology to my spine for only now recognizing its strength and beauty. I received an overwhelmingly positive response and personal encouragement from creatives - BalloArthurPita, 1DegreeEast and DanceEast  to take my idea a step further and produce a short film. Together they have given me £750 to do this.

I need to raise a further £2500 to be able to work with The Motion Dance Collective to bring the film I'm imagining to life. We have one month to reach our goal and I would be immensely grateful for your help!

In a time where performing arts is suffering, it would be amazing to create this work and support our industry. Your support would mean so much to me, and anyone else out there, dancer or not, who has scoliosis.
