In the clip below, Alice discusses her experience using the AUMI.

She talks about how she “never imagined” she could be in a performance after her spinal cord injury years before and described her first experiences in the rehearsals as feeling “awkward,” “confused,” and like she had no idea how to follow what was happening. However, as time went on, she became more relaxed and less concerned with how she looked. She described the AUMI as a tool that, in its registering of small movements, helps people find or return to a passion for making music and dancing.

She says that one of the things she learned from through her experience of FRAP is that “the most important thing, whether you have a disability or you don’t have a disability, if you have an interest in something, whether it is dancing or music, you can just do it and enjoy it.”
