Kickstart Disability Arts and Culture Festival 2010

It’s only fitting that with the start of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Paralympics Games, there is an event on disability and the arts.

I’ve been kindly given 2 tickets to the opening performance of the 2010 Kickstart Disability Arts & Culture Festival, a performance of “She Cried, She Laughed” at the Chan Centre at The University of British Columbia, 8pm, tonight March 12th.

As part of Kickstart Festival 2010, She Laughed, She Cried is a special evening of fado and comedy that will move you from tears to riotous laughter! The evening features two extraordinary and very different artists who share a common ability to touch your heart.

I was deeply moved when I read the mission of Kickstart (formerly the Society for Disability, Arts and Culture). They have amazing goals, and I’m very supportive of their mission.

Kickstart’s mission is to produce and present works by artists with disabilities and to promote artistic excellence among artists with disabilities working in a variety of disciplines.

Since the performance is tonight, I will draw the winner of my 2 tickets at 3:00pm. To enter the contest, simply re-tweet this post or drop a comment (or both, which would give you 2 entries!).
