The ArtSparks powered by FirstOntario program provides all children in Milton in Grades 1 to 8 an opportunity to attend and experience a performance at the FirstOntario Arts Centre Milton, free of charge. This program removes the socioeconomic barriers that often surround the arts.

ArtSparks 2024

The ArtSparks 2024 program features No Excuses, No Limits. Be inspired by this international award-winning all-star breakdance crew, comprising some of the world’s best Bboys that have a disability. No Excuses, No Limits takes audiences on a journey of each dancer’s story through dance, music, audience interaction, working towards an understanding of the limitless possibilities that any person can hold.

Having performed in over 25 countries and reached more than 1 million audiences globally, ILL-Abilities is back with its latest production, No Excuses, No Limits. This motivational showcase sold out 10 sessions at Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., USA, and will be one that you probably have not experienced before!

ILL-Abilities is a play on the word “ill”, inspired by its usage in hip hop culture to describe something in a positive manner. Rather than meaning “sick” or “unwell”, the “ill” in ILL-Abilities refers to the incredible, amazing and intricate talent of its crew members, who strive to inspire and spread positive thinking through their optimistic attitudes, personal stories and unique dance moves.

This performance is recommended for Grades 7 and 8.
