Tess Dally

Accessibility Advisor and Teaching Artist

Tess Dally is a queer, disabled, and aging woman. Her work is greatly influenced by 30 years as a clinical social worker, advocate, healer, listener, and patient in Alaska. Tess is an appointed member of the City of Pittsburgh Task Force on Disabilities and a physically integrated dancer and teaching artist at Attack Theatre. She believes dance is an art that illustrates intersectionality to others within and outside of the disability world. Each piece is an opportunity to reach both those who are familiar with the challenges of disability and those who will view obstacles with fresh eyes.
