The 手渡す ダンサー who made the world go wow!

by TOM RAWSTONE

If nothing else, David 道具’s breathtaking 業績／成果 at the 開会式 of the Paralympics may save him the 成果／努力 of having to explain what it is he does for a living やめる so often in the 未来.

Because at 3ft 2in tall and with no 脚s, even he 収容する／認めるs it is difficult to 納得させる people who he 会合，会うs that he is a professional ダンサー.

‘When you think of a ダンサー, most people think of a ballet ダンサー or something like that,’ he says.

Breathtaking 業績／成果: 手渡す ダンサー David 道具, who is 3ft 2in tall and has no 脚s, was one of the 星／主役にするs of the 開始 儀式

‘They say to me: “What do you do, then?” and when I tell them, it takes some explaining.

‘いつかs I have to get out of my 車椅子 and sort of go ‘Da-Da’? this is what I do. They can’t やめる comprehend it.’

But after his 業績／成果 in ? and over ? the Olympic Stadium, 道具 may now have to get used to 存在 recognised wherever he goes.

The 48-year-old from 物陰／風下d stole the show by 遂行する／発効させるing a 素晴らしい dance on his 手渡すs after which he was 解除するd into the 空気／公表する to 完全にする an 空中の ballet over the 長，率いるs of the other performers.

Within minutes of his 外見, social 網状組織ing 場所／位置s such as Twitter were awash with 賞賛する, 使用者s 述べるing his 業績／成果 as ‘astoundingly beautiful’, ‘haunting’ and the ‘最高潮の場面 of the show’.

Not bad going, then, for a ‘grumpy’ Northerner (his description) who is 部分的な／不平等な to the 半端物 drink, the 半端物 curry and who started out his professional life as a postman.

Born with his 脚s crossed beneath him, at the age of 18 months the 決定／判定勝ち（する） was taken to amputate both ーするために give him more mobility as he grew u p.

While he enjoyed school and dreamed of becoming a vet or a stuntman, at the age of 16 he went to work with the 王室の Mail, 最初 ‘thankful’ for 存在 given 雇用.

But after nine years spent 訂正するing postcodes on the letters that （機の）カム through the 倉庫・駅, any sense of 感謝 had evaporated and 道具 was desperate to do something different.

最高潮の場面: Within minutes of David 道具's 外見, social 網状組織ing 場所／位置s were awash with 賞賛する, 使用者s 述べるing his 業績／成果 as 'astoundingly beautiful' and 'haunting'

‘I knew that it was destroying me doing that, day-in, day-out,’ he said. ‘I needed a way out but couldn’t find one.’

In the end, redemption was to come out of the blue. …に出席するing a party, his former music teacher 手渡すd him a ちらし.

‘He 押すd the paper in my 手渡す and said: “Here, you might like this ? you’re a bit of a show-off”,’ 道具 was to 解任する.

The ちらし 含む／封じ込めるd 詳細（に述べる）s about a 同時代の dance company called Candoco, which had a cast of 無能にするd and 非，不，無-無能にするd performers.

‘At that time in my life, I was probably at 激しく揺する 底（に届く） and would have given anything a go. I’d loved 事実上の／代理 and doing plays at school, and so I went along for an audition. I remember thinking that it was a terrible mistake, but I must have done something 権利.’

招待するd to join them in London, he took the chance and spent the next six years 小旅行するing 国家的に and 国祭的な.

Then, in 2000, while working with the 批判的に-acclaimed UK dance troupe DV8, 道具 created and 成し遂げるd the piece Can We Afford This for the Sydney Arts Festival 事前の to the オリンピック in the city.

星／主役にする: Dance 道具 has danced and 行為／法令／行動するd around the world, 顕著に with the 王室の Shakespeare Company, 同様に as appearing in a number of films

同様に as dancing, he also indulged his passion for 演劇 - playing the part of Puck in Benjamin Britten’s オペラ of A Midsummer Night’s Dr eam in 1997.

Since then, 道具 has danced and 行為／法令／行動するd around the world, 顕著に with the 王室の Shakespeare Company in 2007, 同様に as appearing in a number of films.

道具 is renowned for his remarkable 力／強力にする and grace. He dances in his 車椅子 but まず第一に／本来 on his 手渡すs ? ‘I just use my 武器 as people use their 脚s’, is the way he 述べるs it.

But he is also known for his straight-talking and his candid approach to his disability.

Once asked to 述べる his 団体／死体, he replied: ‘利益／興味ing. I like my 武器, I like my 手渡すs, and after that I start running out of 選択s really.’

When he is off-義務 he does ‘everything’ a ダンサー should not.
