Bill Shannon defies categorization. This interdisciplinary performance and media artist has spent his life drawing on his tremendous creative energy to make art happen. Diagnosed with Legg Calve Perthes disease as a young boy, Bill Shannon has developed a dance and movement vocabulary informed by his early experience with his disability. 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.
