And Then Came icandance is a project focusing on young people with disabilities who find self-expression through dance. Their stories, highlighting the humour and hardships of living with disability. I hope these photographs will draw the audience into their world and offer a view of their challenges and accomplishments.
icandance is a London-based charity founded by Juliet Diener, dedicated to bringing the power of dance to the wider community and encouraging the public to focus on the individual in the light of their abilities rather than their constraints.
The goal is to shed light on the amazing work icandance does in enriching the lives of young people and their families and challenging the common perceptions of disability.

This piece of work was also the inspiration for the award winning short film by Carolina Giametta, with the same title 'I Don't Care'.
