The band was created based on the model of the British Candoco Dance Company, with support from the British Council. Vahan Badalyan, the theater\u2019s Artistic Director, states that inclusive performance helps young people with disabilities and promotes their socialization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a huge problem in Armenia. You can\u2019t meet a person with disabilities on the street or in public transportation, let alone onstage. Many people with disabilities have never been to the theater at all, and here they perform onstage themselves. Besides that, dancing is physically very advantageous for our bodies, it opens the pliability and flexibility of the body and brings new opportunities. Manuk was an example for us: he had a physical disabilities but after a year of trainings and rehearsals he walks firmly and steadily. For us as creative professionals it\u2019s interesting, we create new movements and steps to dance.\u201d Mr. Badalyan added that the tasks and requirements are the same for everyone in the theater, and that everyone must work as a professional. \u201cPeople with disabilities are not disadvantaged and everyone is equal here,\u201d concluded Mr. Badalyan.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Full text in<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.womennet.am%C2%AB%D5%A1%D5%B5%D5%BD%D5%BF%D5%A5%D5%B2-%D5%A2%D5%B8%D5%AC%D5%B8%D6%80%D5%A8-%D5%B0%D5%A1%D5%BE%D5%A1%D5%BD%D5%A1%D6%80-%D5%A5%D5%B6%C2%BB%E2%80%A6\/\"> Armenian\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.womennet.amwp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/unicef-ang.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"newstxt\">&nbsp; The \u201cSmall theater\u201d dance group is the only one in Armenia where dancers with and without disabilities are onstage together.
