Venus balances on the footplate of Andromeda’s wheelchair, arms spread wide and wheels spinning. Andromeda opens her arms wide to receive her in an embrace. They make eye contact and smile. A starry sky fills the background, and moonlight glints off their rims. Photo BRITT / Jay Newman

Disability arts offer a powerful, thrilling aesthetic: one that enriches the entire arts field. Disabled artists are imagining and creating new ways of being. Disabled audiences deserve equitable, artistically rich cultural experiences—lots of them. Access is artistic, creative, equitable, evolving, playful, and vital to our pursuit for justice.

This is where Kinetic Light comes in. We make kick-ass art with revelatory, multi-sensory access.

Our audiences tell us that Kinetic Light performances are “amazing,” “out of this world,” and “astounding.” Most importantly, audiences say that our shows are the first time they have felt fully welcomed, seen, and cared for in an arts experience.

This is where you come in. We always say: access is not a checklist, it is a way of being in relationship with you, our audience, our community. We feel the same way about fundraising. It’s not a transaction, it’s connection, a conversation.

We are celebrating 10 years of Kinetic Light. It takes considerable resources to create and perform the way we do: immense, fearless, groundbreaking, and always accessible. We dream big. Let’s dream big, together.

From paying ASL interpreters and buying supplies for sensory kits to building our own performance wheelchairs and creating tech-intensive, large-scale sets, your support at any level has an impact.

Please consider making a gift today. If you have questions, want to give by phone or email, or want to discuss how you can make an even bigger impact, please contact development@kineticlight.org.

A vertical stack, Alice balances atop Laurel's chair, backs parallel to the ground and arms and legs reaching. An empty chair rests upturned in the foreground; completely surrounding the black marley floor, a packed, diverse, and masked audience leans in. All around are the busy walls of a museum gallery.
