Lusi Faiva
Stage performer/ Dancer/ Creative
Faiva is described as a role model for 'disabled and non-disabled artists and audiences'. She has been a performer for the last 30 years, and considers her career to be her greatest achievement. Faiva is a founding member of New Zealand's Touch Compass, a professional performance company that is disability-led, producing performance works and arts activations. She has performed for the company in all its major shows in New Zealand and Australia since 1997 and sits on the Artistic Direction Panel.
“As a performer with a disability, I have had to overcome barriers, with people saying that I can’t talk or dance. But it seems that I have proved them wrong. I believe it is possible for anyone who has a disability to achieve their dreams in this able-bodied world” (Faiva)
