An award winning leader in the arts\, disability inclusion specialist\, and formally trained dancer; Ladonna grew up a bun-headed baby ballerina dancing around Chicago. After a degenerative disability ended her ballerina life\, she recovered from surgeries with future paralympic athletes who introduced her to disability culture. With the aid of braces and a cane or crutches she is able to navigate the world much of the time\, but it is Ladonna’s wheelchair that has restored her dancers soul. She currently performs with the MOMENTA Dance Company. Ladonna is honored to have received a 2023 Leadership in Dance Award and the Rhythm Within Award and has been nominated for 3Arts Awards in dance and education. Ladonna has served on a number of Boards of Directors\, currently for See Chicago Dance\, and is on the Chicago ArtsEd Leadership Committee. \nHana Angelina Freidheim Javed is a formally trained singer\, dancer\, and writer who attends the University of Chicago Lab High School.

Hana’s background and status as a person with a disability (a degenerative condition) inform and enrich her arts practice. \nCovid safety: Masking is encouraged\, and we will have extra masks available.
