Alice, Peter, & Dorothy
The choreographic inspiration for Alice, Peter, & Dorothy is the result of a deep dive by Douglas Scott into the fantasy works Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll, Peter and Wendy (1911) – often known as Peter Pan – by J. M. Barrie, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) by L. Frank Baum.
Douglas and the dancers look at the novels through a disability-centric lens. What rhetoric is found in the novels that minimalizes and/or normalizes the visual or invisible mark of disability?
Please note: This show is suitable for all ages but is not geared towards children as our work explores mature themes. Trigger warning: Brief mention of suicide.
