Last week when we had to listen to the song Mad World, it was interesting to hear such a variety of versions. Having only really listened to the version by Gary Jules, it brought back memories of dance, not only of choreography, previously done with my studio, but a dance choreographed by Stacy Tookey from the TV show So You Think You Can Dance. This dance immediately popped into my head when we listened to it, because Tookey talks about homelessness and the idea that one who may be homeless is someone who may be an old friend or relation who became an outcast. Two people who once knew each other; one character is a successful businessman and the other has become homeless, this dance talks about the reaction between the two when they meet up after some years.

Nice. I reposted the video to share with my friends. It's interesting how "disability" gets worked out on the stage where bodily "ability" is paramount.
Meaning: a disabled body becomes able-bodied when one dances like a rock star. I don't think homelessness=disability in terms of bodily ability per se. This was just a thought I had while watching the video. Thanks for sharing.
