Learning His Body, Learning to Dance
Greg Mozgala, a 33 year old actor with cerebral palsy, found that learning to dance helped him to identify and control his muscles in ways that he never could before.
Mozgala started working with choreographer Tamar Rogaff, after she saw him in a performance of "Romeo and Juliette" put on by Theater Breaking Barriers, a troupe that combines actors with and without disabilities. Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition which interrupts the signals that the brain sends to the muscles. Mozgala found that the dancing techniques that he learned from Rogaff helped him to reprogram some of his habitual patterns of movement.
