Photographer's Note
Two people confined to wheelchairs perform a dance at The National Hall of Culture in Vientiane, Laos.
These two performers were part of a 5 country show in Vientiane, Laos that featured people who had lost limbs, were paralyzed, were without hearing or vision, or were mentally handicapped.
The five countries were Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, and Vietnam. I had never seen folks in wheelchairs put on an artistic performance before, so this part the event was quite interesting to me.
There must be hundreds of people around the world who, though confined to wheelchairs, would like to learn how to perform the moves that these people displayed during their performance.
The major sponsor of the event was the Nippon Foundation of Japan.

Hello John,
C’est une image très touchante. Malgré leur handicap, on remarque sur les visages beaucoup de joie et de satisfaction après cette représentation. Belle image et note très instructive.
Amicalement et à bientôt,
Robert

Nice shot John, full of compassion and hope. Does the man poking his head round the curtain help or hinder? Does it matter? No. Great stuff.
Best regards,
Mark

Good stuff John! As always, your indoor shots seem warm and full of light, with lovely colors. Great action and energy in this one, as well as good notes. One of my best friends is in a weelchair. Take care,
