In Between Dance and Musical Theater

PODCAST BY SILVA LAUKKANEN

In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews Meredith Aleigha Wells, a dancer with Dancing Wheels Company in Cleveland, OH. The Massachusetts native has a background in musical theater, and started using a wheelchair while in college. She discusses the support she received in college, how the process of translating able-bodied dance onto her body has given her technical and choreographic skills, and the similarities and differences between having a disability in dance versus musical theater. She recently ended her contract with Dancing Wheels, and looks forward to freelancing more in musical theater.
