March 11th, 2009
From Adweek’s Adfreak blog:
Meet Bill Shannon, a freestyle dance artist who is featured in the European “Life Flows Better with Visa” campaign created by Saatchi & Saatchi London. Shannon was born with a degenerative hip condition, and has developed an mesmerizing way of dancing. The video is here.
Here’s what UC Berkeley’s “Artists with Disabilities Oral History Project” has to say about him:
Using customized rocker-bottom crutches and a skateboard, he has created a body of work, rooted in street dance, which he has performed throughout the United States and abroad to significant acclaim. Part social critic, part educator, part rebel, all artist, Bill Shannon continually challenges his audiences to question what they think they know.
