Disability Rocks!

Mind the Gap has a street performance piece called "Chicken Coup." In it, three crazy chickens, watched by a sneaky cook, cavort about with a pram with a giant egg in it. When the chickens aren't looking, the cook comes to make scrambled eggs, but the chickens chase her away! 

This is also the second annual Disability Rocks-- a festival dedicated to creating a positive experience for people with disabilities through music and art. 

Mind the Gap brought Chicken Coup to Disability Rocks, and I got to go with them! 

It was a gorgeous day, and the festival was tons of fun. There were all kinds of workshops, food, and entertainment.
