ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

ROLL WITH THE CHANGES... FROM THE BOARD CHAIR, TOM GILLIGAN, & THE FOUNDING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, MARY VERDI-FLETCHER Dear Friends: To say the least, this has been a year of extreme opportunities and unprecedented challenges. As we launched our season in July 2019, we were wading through all the paperwork and logistics to allow the company’s performance in Beijing’s Luminous Festival. Honestly, we didn’t think we would ever get there given the many delays and postponements. But in the spirit of Dancing Wheels, we kept the faith, worked with diligence and persistence, and forged ahead taking a cast and crew of dancers and tech personnel across the globe! That incredible trip seems like a dream now that our world has been turned upside down. We followed that whirlwind trip with a December performance at moCa, the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, where the dancers premiered original works created from their experiences in China. It was a lovely evening that gave us all a true appreciation for the culture and creativity that came from that TOGETHER. memorable journey. Overcoming obstacles is in our DNA. Despite By mid-March, business as usual was halted, not only for us, but for most of the world. “Sheltering- the challenges of COVID-19, Dancing Wheels is in-place” became a familiar term along with so many other words associated with COVID-19, but once again, with our resilient spirit, we reinvented ourselves to keep our wheels in motion-- finding a way to roll with the changes. virtually. With classes and rehearsals conducted through ZOOM, and numerous virtual meetings We’ve not only adapted to change, we’ve introduced with staff, board and events committee members, we remained flexible and fluid in our thinking. Despite our efforts we did, however, suffer losses including the world premiere of A Midsummer it ourselves. From showcasing the beauty of Night’s Dream originally slated for June, together with countless tours, booking opportunities and inclusive in Beijing, China to hosting the community outreach classes. With interest from presenters to take us as far as Dubai and South nation’s first-ever physically integrated dance Korea, our passports were at the ready for more international touring, but that is on hold for now. teacher certification program, we’ve discovered On the bright side, we have grown tremendously from this experience and we have gained an appreciation for the saying “When one door closes, another opens.” We have discovered so much new ways of sharing the beauty and athleticism of about ourselves over these months. We have realized a wealth of previously unidentified talent among inclusive dance. our dancers…far beyond their artistic talents. We learned that we could reach out globally using virtual platforms, something we had always wanted to do to gain momentum as the World Center for With unwavering dedication to creating art and Integrated Dance & Arts Access. We learned that, even at a distance, we could work together and support each other. We felt the love, concern and appreciation that brought us together, stronger than opportunities for people of all abilities, we’ve adapted ever. Finally, we now know that with patience and persistence we will not only survive, but thrive. We our methods to advance our mission in the midst of have rolled with the changes. historic change. As we move into our 40th anniversary season, we know without a doubt, the lessons learned coupled with our new-found skills will indeed propel us into the next decade with strength, determination and Roll with the Changes? It’s what we do. What fortitude. We are galvanized around our heritage and our future being First, Fierce, and For Everyone! we’ve always done—together. With Gratitude,

Mary Verdi-Fletcher President & Founding Artistic Director

Thomas P. Gilligan Board Chairman DANCING WHEELS SHINES AT THE LUMINOUS FESTIVAL

In October 2019, the Dancing Wheels Company completed its first tour to Beijing, China (the 5th worldwide tour) to perform at the inaugural Luminous Festival. Featuring the work of disabled artists, this historic festival opened with Dancing Wheels in a first-of-its-kind presentation by a professional physically integrated dance company. Audience members included presenters and funders, and even Beijing dancers forming their own physically integrated dance ensemble. The post-performance meet and greet provided an opportunity for the ensemble to gather choreographic insight and inspiration from Dancing Wheels. When the company wasn’t rehearsing in the 77 Theatre, a once-thriving Beijing Offset Printing Factory, the cast and crew of 12 visited the Forbidden City, the Beijing Zoo, and several restaurants for delicacies like fish soup and duck feet. Dancers Marissa Thomas and Molly Haslag considered the tour an “unforgettable experience to share the message and vision of inclusive dance in a place that has had far less exposure to its artistic possibilities.” Molly said one of the funniest things she experienced was being celebrated for being a blonde. Blonde hair is very rare in China, so she was often asked to be photographed with Chinese citizens. “Going on tour and getting the chance to travel to so many places with my fellow dancers is probably my favorite thing about being a company member at Dancing Wheels. I still can’t believe I got the incredible opportunity to - and as a part of my job!” Molly Haslag The Dancing Wheels Company thanks the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing for their generous support.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES AT MOCA Dancing Wheels Company members premiered original choreographic works at The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland in December 2019. Dancers Matt Bowman, Tanya Ewell, Cody Krause, Sara Lawrence-Sucato, Marissa Thomas, and Morgan Walker choreographed and performed works inspired by their experiences in China.
