"All Means All" presents a night of music
Exploring cultural inclusiveness for people with disabilities

Detroit, May 3, 2012… Music is the special theme for the second
program in the “All Means All” series at the Detroit Opera House on
Thursday, May 17.  Programming begins at 6:30 pm and includes a
special film presentation and an interactive “drummunity” drum circle.
The evening ends at 8:30 pm. The Detroit Opera House is located at
1526 Broadway, Detroit, MI 48226. Suggested donation is $5 - $10. Call

All Means All” events has been made possible with support from the

The evening’s special film presentation features Evelyn Glennie who
illustrates how listening to music involves more than just hearing
sound waves.  Lorie Fithian will close out the evening with a rousing
“drummunity” circle designed for participants to have the opportunity
to participate in an empowering, high energy, community-building
experience.
The “All Means All” programs are designed to bring together cultural
and community activists and community members for the purpose of
creating an important dialogue designed to give meaning to inclusive
culture, disability participatory justice and foster understanding
between those with and without disabilities.
The programs lead audience participants to explore the concepts of the
arts and disability culture.  Inclusive Culture is rooted in the
belief that all people have creativity, dignity, and voice, and that a
truly inclusive culture creates opportunities for this beautiful
diversity to be celebrated and shared.
