Dancing after TEN : a graphic memoir

Chong, Vivian. (Author). Webber, Georgia. (Added Author).

In late 2004, Vivian Chong's life was changed forever when a rare skin disease, TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis), left her with scar tissue that would eventually blind her. As she was losing her sight, she put down as many drawings on paper as she could to document the experience. In Dancing After TEN, Chong teams up with cartoonist Georgia Webber -- whose graphic autobiography, Dumb, chronicled her own disability -- to trace her journey out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Chong now expresses her art through singing, stand-up, drumming, running, and dancing. This graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.

Summary

Dancing after Ten : A Graphic Memoir


In Dancing After TEN, Chong teams up with cartoonist Georgia Webber to tell her journey of life after becoming blind. This extraordinary journey, rendered with rare sensitivity and rawness, takes her from the depths of despair to the realm of possibility, as she realises her artistic vision in a variety of expressions - including singing, stand-up, drumming, running, and dance. Releasing simultaneously with the Toronto debut of Chong's dance-theater production 'dancing with the universe', this graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.
