Trinity Stevens was first introduced to adaptive dance during undergraduate capstone research at Cleveland State University. This project led Stevens to work with the Dancing Wheels Company, learning about physically integrated dance techniques to offer movement translations for various physical disabilities. Last summer, Stevens attended the Boston Ballet Adaptive Dance Teacher Training, professional development sessions with the Center for Arts Inspired Learning, and the Darkroom Ballet Teacher Training. The latter focused specifically on teaching blind/low-vision dancers and audio description for dance. Diving further into the topics covered in this training, Stevens completed a semester-long access internship with Full Radius Dance. With a continued interest in the dance and disability scene, Stevens is presently working on a virtual project with Abilities Dance Boston.
