Art Restart Podcast: Davian Robinson
Davian Robinson’s artistic journey has never followed a straight line. As a student
at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, North Carolina, he discovered
ballet and tap, launching a lifelong relationship with dance even as his vision continued
to fade.
Since then, he has emerged as both a powerful performer and an advocate for more inclusive ways of teaching and experiencing dance. In this episode of the Art Restart podcast, Davian reflects on how he developed his methodology as a dance student, the breakthroughs that shaped his teaching and choreography philosophy and how the world of dance can make itself more welcoming to visually impaired dancers and audiences alike.
The Art Restart podcast is hosted by Pier Carlo Talenti and is produced by the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts.
