This space is particularly meant for those interested in exploring disability and impairment-informed modes of practicing dance. \nAdditional Access Information is available here:\nhttps://highconceptlabs.org/news-2/labe-launches-at-experimental-station \nFor any other questions or requests regarding accessibility accommodations\, please contact HCL’s Accessibility Coordinator\, Yolanda Cesta Cursach Montilla (yolanda@highconceptlabs.org).
