Partnership in dance. Disabled dancer Duncan performs with non-disabled dancer Julie in a contemporary dance. In this image you can witness the trust and connection of true partnership as the two dancers perform. Julie leaning backwards, her arms outstretched as Duncan catches her in his arms with strength and artistry. A soft blue light cascades across their bodies creating an atmosphere of dramatic theatre.
