>> (I've only got a sad pre-Serum Steve. Drop in your favorite defiant Steve in substitution) <<
Well, Marvel did drop that canonical crumb about Steve being in a barbershop quartet. In a musical universe, permanent singing groups would logically be a type of family.
God, Steve's music after coming out of the ice. O_O I would be buying kleenex by the case.
>> I know there is a dance troupe that's part wheel-chair users, part one foot after the other.<<
That's cool. I've seen wheelchair dancing before, and it's awesome.
In the context of a musical world, I would be interested in exploring how they incorporate that, or not. Some of the moves they use are different, some of what their partners do is different -- you need training for that. Does the culture genuinely believe that musicality is an essential part of life? If so, they will widely teach how to pickup-dance with partners of diverse abilities, and there will be wheelchair-dance-friendly areas and equipment all around. But if they have a narrower focus on fully mobile dance, that's going to cause a lot of tension in society -- every broken ankle becomes a major social impediment, and the typical process of aging even more so.
Musical!Steve, of course, would have damn well gone out and learned all of the accommodations, even if he couldn't get through more than one song without wheezing himself into oblivion. "Girls don't like a guy they might step on," ouch! And then to get thrown into the USO, which in musical!world must have been one of the most prestigious positions, only Steve didn't want it.
I love Infinite Flow. :D Over in T-America, that would be a great match for Haru. Obviously they won't discriminate against soups, they're hardcore inclusive.
>>I know there is also at least one acting group that's combined; they found during one performance in NYC the stage was distinctly not level and an actor hadn't been blocked to brake-lock because they'd not found that precise mark before (they might have had to hit the space 'cold').<<
Yikes. But it's not just wheelchairs. You can't transpose directly from a flat stage to a raked stage because, in dancing, it changes the physics of the moves; and in acting, it changes the view from the audience.
