Push­mak­ers is a wheel­chair user dancer led dis­abil­i­ty dance orga­ni­za­tion. We believe that the joy of mov­ing your body is a pow­er­ful tool that belongs to every­one. Our work envi­sions a future where every wheel­chair user has spaces in their own com­mu­ni­ties that can skill­ful­ly and joy­ful­ly sup­port their jour­ney to devel­op a sense of part­ner­ship with their body and artistry.

Top image: Shay and Paulina, both white non-binary wheelchair users in their 30s dance together in a connected spin while looking each other deeply in the eye. They are facing each other with Paulina’s back facing towards the camera. They are dancing in a large theatre space with a large, curved staircase rising above them on the right side of the hall. Bottom image: Six manual wheelchair users pose for a group photo against a green brick wall in the rain. They are wearing bright colourful clothing and all are smiling big with their arms raised above their heads excitedly.
