Alice Sheppard

A lot of Alice's work revolves intersectionality (her being a disabled, queer person of color).

[1][2] She worked as an associate professor of English and Comparative Literature at Pennsylvania State University (PSU).

Post-apprenticeship, Sheppard toured nationally and taught for the Axis Dance Company in their education and outreach programs.

[18][19] The show "blurs boundaries between musicians and dancers and challenges audience's perceptions of what live performance is".

[20] In 2017 Sheppard's dance company, Kinetic Light, created a piece entitled Descent (styled in all caps).

[22] In February 2018, Sheppard performed at the ribbon cutting of an additional 10,000 square feet (930 m2) of space at the Gibney Dance Center.

[23] In July 2018, she graced the cover of Dance Magazine, credited with "moving the conversation beyond loss and adversity.

This article features the work of both Sheppard and fellow artist and member of Kinetic Light, Laurel Lawson.

"I Dance Because I Can" emphasizes the connection between "art and social justice", detailing the ways in which Sheppard's work responds to and evolves out of disability culture and aesthetics.

She also believes that movements don't represent triumph over disability[27][11] Below is a list of works choreographed by Sheppard.
