Aotearoa New Zealand's only disability-led professional performing arts organisation, Touch Compass, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a live streamed show. Technically the dance company, which brings together disabled and non-disabled artists, reached this milestone last year. But we all know what got in the way of the birthday show being presented then! The show /ritaha/ will go on - a mix of premieres and revisited, even reinvented, past works that include some of the company's trademark flying wheelchair dances. Last year also saw a change in the leadership of Touch Compass, with disabled performers Rodney Bell, Suzanne Cowan and Lusi Faiva appointed to a new Artistic Development Panel. Lynn Freeman spoke to them about Touch Compass's past, its legacy and its future. /ritaha/ goes live on February 15.
