In this episode powerhouse composer and performer Molly Joyce shares her body story. Today she talks about having an impaired left hand and how her relationship to her disability has shaped and defined her as a musical artist ever since she was seven years old. She'll guide you through her journey towards not only claiming her disability as a part of her identity, but also seeing her disability as possibility rather than limitation. Her works have been commissioned and performed by ensembles including the Vermont, New World, New York Youth, Pittsburgh, Albany, and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestras, as well as the New Juilliard, Decoda, and Contemporaneous ensembles.
