ArtStreamers Nicolette Stearns and RJ Martin join host Karyn Allen on Connecting Our Community. They talk about living independentally, Inclusive Theatre, self-esteem, and the magic of the arts!

“The arts don’t discriminate. There’s a way in for every single person that walks through the ArtStream door…So if you don’t have language, then dancing may be a way that you express yourself. Every single person can express themselves at ArtStream. It’s our job to find that way in, and to really create that sense of balance.”

– Nicolette Stearns

ArtStream starts at 14:19, but watch from the beginning to learn about our friends at Transition Work Group from ArtStreamer Nadia Abourmaya and her mother Karen Leggett.
