Examples of Practical Guide pages



Amici is a unique dance/theatre company that integrates performers with disabilities with able-bodied dancers, actors and musicians; over the years it has developed it’s own character and, it’s been said, has a unique “magic” in all of it’s work. This is difficult to describe and put into words but we hope by the end of the film you will have begun to understand The Magic of Amici.

"In a world too selfish, too prejudiced, too material in its aspirations, Wolfgang Stange and Amici are a beacon of idealism, of spiritual grace in the best sense,  a splendid torch of hope and belief in human kind and human potential. Unexpected diamonds!". Clement Crisp OBE - Financial Times
