PHAME, an experiential arts academy designed for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, has been around for decades. Students take classes in visual art, photography, improv, voice acting and much more. The academy has put on plays, musicals and even rock operas before, but it’s never undertaken anything quite like this weekend’s show, says Jessica Dart, who co-directs “Stop Making Sense” with her husband and PHAME teaching artist Jason Rouse. The show recreates the Talking Heads' classic 1984 concert film. Like the film, the PHAME show includes music, dance and videos. PHAME student JJ Ross is the show’s choreographer and dances in the show as well. Ross, Dart and Rouse join us to talk about this unique collaboration.
