Dancing From The Heart

About this Short Film

Dancing From The Heart (Grace Chamoun, Australia, 2019) is a short film that explores dance, adolescence and intellectual disability through a personal, observational lens. It examines how movement and rhythm can offer ways to express identity, emotion and agency during the teenage years. The film's calm, intimate approach gives space for small gestures to resonate beyond words. As part of Focus on Ability, it contributes to a broader conversation about ability and inclusion, celebrating the talents and everyday experiences of people with disability. A thoughtful and hopeful piece, it invites audiences to see dance as a powerful form of communication.
