paradigm – a sample used for comparison
paradigm-shift – the modification or fundamental change of anachronistic scientific or political approaches
para – as the anterior of compounds, signifies the comparison, conjunction or counterpoint-like nature of the compound concept formed through its use
dogma – believe, consider 

This is the world we all live in: healthy and handicapped, handicapped healthy people and healthy handicapped. Accessibility is required not just physically, but mentally, in people's mind as well. On this occasion, the composition of performers and artists will greatly differ from the norm and thus the issue of difference will be highly stressed in our work.

We aren't fighting against the misconceptions attached to being handicapped. Disability, blindness, autism or intellectual disability create special situations in life, the experiencing of which leads to a rich body of special, surprising and unusual solutions. The key is movement and a sensibility towards dance. There's a strong boundary between the stage and the audience and thus the theater provides protection with its tried and tested framework. While the main focus is on the player, the viewers are also involved in the situation.

The creative work of art reshapes and heals artists and recipients alike. Thus it becomes the mental hygiene buffer of society. The performance and series of the rehearsals gives us an opportunity to break up practically dogma-like prejudice, misconceptions and stereotypes. The disabled artists of the contemporary dance theater based on body consciousness techniques and improvisation ret-each through their presence how to use our forgotten abilities and our inner metamorphosis based on self-reflection.
