Company 'd' is a dance troupe from Memphis composed of young adults with Down syndrome. Now going into their 8th year, they've danced all over the country and hope to inspire others in the special needs community to form similar groups, not just for dance but for all means of artistic expression. Moviemaker Peter Barton traveled to Memphis last summer when his daughter Zoe had the opportunity to intern as a teacher under Darlene Winters, the troupe's artistic director. His current edit, a work-in-progress, includes two full performance pieces and poignant, sometimes funny interviews with dancers and parents.The documentary was selected for the Memphis Film Festival,"On Location: Memphis," premiered there April 25. Barton is seeking finishing funds for the project through his not-for-profit public interest media group, Groundswell, Inc. Contact him: peterbarton@earthlink.net Less
