A Visual film created for the backdrop of a live performance choreographed by disabled dance artist Steph Sandy. The project was presented at Sense Touchbase Pears in Birmingham in October 2025, as a conclusion to Steph’s ACE funded, Developing Your Creative Practice. The work highlights the challenges of a mother living with cerebral palsy and the judgement on her capabilities to be a good mother as a disabled woman. The project proves that people’s preconceptions about people living with disabilities can often be wrong – the work is both inspiring and thought provoking.
