Kinetic Light

Founded in 2016 by Alice Sheppard, Kinetic Light is an internationally-recognized disability arts ensemble. Working in the disciplines of art, technology, design, and dance, Kinetic Light creates, performs, and teaches at the nexus of access, queerness, disability, dance, and race.

We are led by disabled artists; disabled artists create, design, and perform the work. Our work speaks to and emerges from disability aesthetics and disability culture, and it is connected to the rich traditions and exciting contemporary conversations of disabled artists in all artistic fields.

In our work disability is not a deficit, it is a powerful, intersectional creative force that is essential to our artistry. Access is integral to our art, creative process, administrative work, and audience experience.
