Through dance, live music, video, and science, Band of Artists explores the compelling and misinterpreted language of Tourette syndrome. Using the tics of Tourettes as a foundation for choreography, this performance troupe inspires audiences to reconsider their definitions of dance and disorder.
///////
Band of Artists is at the forefront of a movement being born that not only creates awareness about neurological disorders but also gives a powerful voice that inspires appreciation and admiration for people who are different. Comprised of a forward thinking group of performers and presenters, Band of Artists is putting a new spin on Tourette Syndrome. By combining art with scientific research, dance with lecture, they challenge and inspire people to take another look at their definitions of disability.
