In Search of Air

“In Search of Air: Growing Up Dyslexic”, a one hour dance/theater performance based on her experience growing up with a learning disability, dancer, choreographer and spoken word artist Lida Winfield shares the gifts and heartache that accompanied her struggle to learn to read - which did not occur until her early twenties. Mixing vignettes woven in a creative and captivating format, the show is a platform to engage a wide variety of populations to experience disability, access and the value of the arts.
