What happens when an athlete becomes a dancer — and then builds a company where disabled and non-disabled artists create work side by side?
In this episode of the Tampa Bay Arts Passport podcast, Avery Anderson sits down with "D", the artistic director of Revolution Dance Company, to talk about inclusive dance, leadership, and what it really means to build community through art.
"D" shares his journey from wheelchair track and field to founding a professional inclusive dance company now entering its third decade. Along the way, he reflects on collaboration across difference, teaching dance in unexpected places (including a juvenile prison in Russia), and the mindset that’s carried him through it all: game on.
This conversation is about access, trust, and the quiet power of showing up — even when the space isn’t built for you yet.
