ABILITIES Project

PROJECT IN INCLUSIVE PRACTICES

Video: "HABILITÉS - Projet an chantier avec Azalia Kaviani" 
Laurence Ly (direction, filming & editing), Anaïs Larocque (music composition), Lizann Gervais (violin), Simon L'espérance (mix)
Consultant’s position: Curator, Project Manager / Professional Development Consultant
Client: Festival Accès Asie
Venue: To be announced
Period: April 2019 to present

​
I serve as the lead organizer of ABILITIES Project - a pilot project in inclusive practices that provides Azalia Kaviani, a visual artist and dancer of Iranian origin who lives with cerebral palsy, with adapted dance training, accommodation and professional development so that she can achieve her artistic and professional goals.
​
Recognizing the fact that people with disabilities face many barriers on a daily basis (isolation, lack of accessibility, harassment, etc.), Festival Accès Asie, with the support of Conseil des arts de Montréal and MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), initiated the ABILITIES Project to help artists with disabilities professionalize and integrate into the professional arts community in Montreal.

Through her art, Azalia is motivated by the desire ‘’to inspire people with disabilities to pursue their ambitions, to encourage them not to marginalize themselves.’’

As lead organizer, I work and liaise with the following institutions and project collaborators:
  • Main project team: visual artist & dancer (1), trainer, chorographer & dance partner (1), health consultant (1), photographer & director (1)
