here, dancers with and without disabilities perform together. the company doesn't view yorks condition as an impairment, seeing instead his artistic potential last week first, they stretch and warm up and take time to center themselves. it's a special day for the dance company to ask the tots the 1st day of the new production material. the 1st performance will be in a few months time, and the 2 choreographers will be in sanchez and will have their work cut out for them as will all the members of the group much. because every rehearsal begins with

a meditation group and it would be hot. the training here focuses not only on producing a top performance, but also on developing the ability to look into words. and his, a production has a minimal force. it's called no name. asterisk, the musical yes. it's a bit of a gender diversity and it will be your expects production with scene. it's fine. he's been a part of this inclusive ensemble for 6 years now. it specializes in contemporary dance theatre bringing together performers with and without disabilities. artistic potential is what counts here. nothing else. and there's plenty of that. whether it's ricardo, who's unable to walk or your who has down syndrome. whoa, ah, me being different is normal for me. and so is accepting the way we are to team

somebody using mind see, life is just to be a dancer and so on this if you don't sing is my thing. this is the map. but i love to meet him and i've realized that i need movement. i need it for my mind, but also for my fault. but i'm on platinum and i'm just sitting in a wheelchair the whole time would be terrible night. i took me dancing is about lightness and strength. but don't sing as also make me more self-confident. one of them knew that it was to become a self confident young woman. i know to start in myself now. here again, ricardo still need to complete their training as professional state dancers they

spend every afternoon here in the mornings they do with china been a workshop for the disabled choreographers team of heiner and sanchez, developed their ambitious training concept together. they feel that dance companies generally should be more open to people with disabilities, giving them equal opportunity. oh inside he knows she tons, contemporary dance is about expression, his kid movement dealing with various themes on the stage through body language and fish in taman suspicion of the be in the middle and that individuality. yes. diversity and working with different people should bring them together on the stage, each person in each body, whether without the disability, me both of these points teef. i'll be disappointed. as contemporary professional

dancers what they are interested in, what they like disabled or even inclusive. know nothing but not everyone agrees with their approach to this must be found us. of course, we have to be honest and say you should at the many theaters and other establishment that we'd like to work with or perform projects with are not open to us to do if and when the 50 s. did you conscious. and that's because of discrimination . it intimidates communion to some members of the ensemble live in shared accommodation. not far from the rehearsal room. they've come back for a break. this is it, and mccoy. as many as if it can use your hands out piece of cake left over from his

28th birthday party earlier in the week. maybe not. 5 years ago he heard moved out from his parents' home 450 kilometers away to come and live here in this accommodation. for him, it was a big step towards independence and i've heard that include a lot of whites did you? i suggested it in the group that in your set straight away. ok. yeah. all moved to the black forest. yup, that's right. no news media got being able to do things like this is like teaching the way the barriers and moving forward for the summit to be a positive thinking and not seeing things so negative. you know, he spends many hours a day rehearsing, often alone today too. he heads back to the dance around. after everyone else is

finished. he wants to show us a solo dance that he performed on stage. and a few months ago, he received a grant to take part in a very high profile dance workshop. he was the 1st dancer with a disability to receive such a grant. i was so relieved to have so many people in the audience. so if you had some shots and to be able to give my own performance, i think i found some mom. i think it was really, really good team and being able to show them my abilities and strength about my potential so that they can see yes. that's a dancer. yeah. settings. he has a disability, but he's

a normal person. i mention the money team, dancing and performing on stage is something completely natural for him. what he wants is for the audience to see him as a professional dancer. nothing more, but nothing less either. i have down syndrome and i have a disability, but actually that's not true. that's not how i feel. i'm just a normal person, like you. yeah. we returned to the dance company 4 months later. it's no just a few days to go before the premiere of the new production. come talk to me. i'm really looking forward to the prom. yeah. i'm pretty nervous.

it's, we've now reached a final point with the production doesn't belong here anymore. so now it needs a stage and the states beans make up. and constance, today's the 1st full dress rehearsal jerk is hoping that this premiere will bring him another step closer to his goal. this is garnome. i'd like to do other things too, and much just david's in the that's why once he's completed his dance training get seen, it's like to take on roles with other dance companies that don't normally include artists with disabilities. heroics, colleague fernando, often dances with other conventional companies. he says competition between the dancers is fierce. not like it's aimed at sinai, where there's more, a sense of team spirit to dancers are very similar to automatically compete with

each other. when there's a more different they are, the less that happens here. everyone seeks to draw the best out of each other when at the start of constantly comparing themselves. say hello to your mum 1st. you know, it's their 1st reunion in months. yorks parents have travelled right across germany for the premiere to watch their son perform. they noticed his dance, tell it early on and encouraged it, but they never thought he could have a professional dance career shepherd as my i didn't take it so seriously at fust guns and because i couldn't see that he had any prospects and how you know, we have to have been through higher education to do training, not thoughts. and the opportunities just aren't that, you know,

chris caton doesn't stop them. it's work for them today. they're grateful that you're grabbed his opportunity when it came and other to do that because development, he's undergone a sensational for us to never expected that you're going to be so independent from this and live out his talents or so i'm told in this life and you're one of your income finally, the big guy, darius, you're performing it in theater, in the city of a quite thing and, and are about to go on stage. you know, i'm a bit nervous but i'm really looking forward to this premiere of the treme. i just feel like a professional dancer and person attend. so the production explores, the theme of the role reversal is set in a wheelchair, the boundaries between different genders merge. does the performers have

a fixed identity? they're constantly changing the premier is there for sounding success. he couldn't solve the left. don't think it's really amazing. i've never seen anything like that before. i thought it was really beautiful and the variety of tone styles and so free this guy . your thanks there can't pin the fairy tale. he hopes to convince many more people in the future that artists like him to make contemporary dance richer and border 1st
