Bailey Anne Vincent
Bailey is a scar positive, signing, Deaf storyteller and professional dancer, who believes etiquette, work ethic and role modeling matter as much to a role as just inhabiting a part. As a disabled choreographer, director, music supervisor, and actor, she has spent the last 8 years running a company called Company Dance Theatre on the east coast: the first body neutral, large scale company in the US. But she’s also been a journalist, columnist and novelist for almost three decades, in addition to the trials and tribulations of motherhood. As a formally misdiagnosed mutant, she hopes to raise awareness of atypical CFTR disease and help anyone who isn’t genetically in the black or white feel less alone. For more on her activism or art, please see www.catchingbreaths.org.
