BBC Radio 4 - Four Thought, Series 4, Claire Cunningham

Disabled dancer Claire Cunningham considers why she would never want to be 'fixed'.

Disabled dancer Claire Cunningham presents a highly thought-provoking and challenging talk on why she would never want to be non-disabled, why she would never choose to be 'fixed'.

Acclaimed disabled dancer and choreographer, Claire Cunningham, offers up a starkly honest and intriguing challenge to anyone who's ever just assumed that someone with a disability would want to be 'cured' if they could be. For Claire being disabled makes her unique and gives her a fresh insight into life. In this compelling edition of Four Thought she considers why on earth she'd opt to be just the same as everyone else when she can be different, utterly individual, unlike anyone else.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
