Ladies and Gentlemen! My Friends!
I have chosen this piece of music to get started, the g-moll Presto by Vivaldi, because it represents great power and force. Also because it links what we will experience here tonight at the Neurosupport Centre.
Mr. Alan Martin, who is an example to all of us; despite his severe physical and speech disabilities he lives on his own without any government support, runs his own business as a dance performer, dance teacher and lives a full and independent life. Our community, and all of us, should learn from his ability. We will also see the art of the photographer Eva Erdi-Krausz, whose photographs illustrate this power of spirit. And through her camera enable us to see these forces of hope.
The documentary photos of Rachel and Phil Hibberd also show the power of Conductive Education, delivered by Megan Baker House, which is teaching and rehabilitating children, adolescents and adults to get to the level of Mr. Martin. And last but not least the Neurosupport Centre which has got the power to organise, introduce and spread ideas and to mediate between people and organisations.
If we take a second and think a little bit about of all these factors and activities we realise that Objective Conditions are tricky. Objective conditions do not tell us much regarding of the quality of life we live. Objective conditions limit our freedom but according to John Dewey, the famous educator and author, they cover a wide range of existence. An existence which is mostly based on our life experiences. Every experience is a moving force. Its value can be judged only on the ground of what it moves toward and into. Conductive Education is one of those powers which takes experience very seriously and enables people with motor disabilities to increase their quality of life by giving them the most complex experiences in an emotional, social, physical, and functional way of life.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please enjoy Eva’s elementary photographs showing Alan’s dancing art, and Rachel and Phil’s documentary photographs about the hard work that provides a higher quality of life to adolescents and adults through Conductive Education at Megan Baker House. In the meantime, please listen to Alan’s composed music and enjoy the beverages.
Thank you for your interest!
