Abilities Dance Boston was commissioned to "create pieces inspired by the history and landscape of the Arboretum and celebrate equitable public land use for all through an intersectional disability lens."
The company will bring original musical scores, choreography, audio descriptions, ASL, and CART to make its performance accessible in the spirit of universal design enjoyed by all, according to the Arboretum's website.
Music will be composed by Erin Rogers and performed live by the New England Film Orchestra. You can see the full list of performers on Abilities Dance Boston's website.
