Through the lenses of four Ohio photographers and international photographer/curator Richard Bailey, Shifting Perspectives: In the Community will be a celebration of acceptance, capturing the joy and wonder of what it is like to be human and living with Down syndrome.

In close collaboration with the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio, photographers will be paired with local members of the Down syndrome community, creating images that challenge conventional attitudes and catalyze renewed perceptions of identity and individuality. The exhibition will focus on the everyday life experiences of individuals living with Down syndrome. Through the medium of photography, this exhibition will encourage a sensitive exploration of diversity in all of its permutations.

Exhibition hours: Tuesday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Stream

Dress rehearsal (open to the public) Friday Sept. 14, 2012, 11 a.m.
Outdoor performances (free) Friday Sept. 14 and Saturday Sept. 15, 6:30 p.m.
Dublin Arts Council grounds, 7125 Riverside Dr., Dublin, Ohio

 

Stream is an original, site-specific, outdoor contemporary dance project, presented by Dublin Arts Council and OhioDance in collaboration with The Ohio State University Department of Dance, University of Akron Dance Program and Ohio Department of Education Division of the Arts.

Robin Prichard, University of Akron Assistant Professor of Dance, will choreograph, involving dance students from University of Akron Dance Program and The Ohio State University Department of Dance. Students will rehearse simultaneously through live-stream technology for the public to view the developmental process from the beginning. The project will culminate in a weeklong residency which includes planned live-streamed master classes for elementary and high school students.

The approximate 40-minute performances, inspired by the sloping site and the Scioto River, will be followed by a question-and-answer session between the choreographer, the dancers and the audience. Dress rehearsal and the performances will also be live-streamed.
