An Evening of Magic, Music & Hope: An Extraordinary Celebration of Neurodivergent Talent.
The evening will feature three remarkable artists and advocates whose creativity, perseverance and accomplishments reflect the potential within every person.
Their stories remind us that talent does not always arrive in the form the world expects. Sometimes it is heard in a song, revealed through animation or discovered in a moment of magic.
RYAN WOODWARD
Singer, Songwriter and Autism Advocate
Ryan Woodward is an award-winning singer-songwriter and autism advocate. Once nonverbal until age nine, he now inspires audiences through his music and message of hope, resilience, and inclusion. His performance will serve as the musical heart of the evening; a reminder of how far a voice can carry when it is recognized and encouraged.
DANI BOWMAN
Animator, Entrepreneur, and Autism Advocate
Dani Bowman is an autistic animator, entrepreneur, autism advocate, educator, founder and CEO of DaniMation, where she teaches animation to teens and young adults on the autism spectrum. Dani is also known for her role as a cast member on Netflix’s “Love on the Spectrum U.S.”
ANGUS BASKERVILLE
Professional Magician and Speaker
Angus Baskerville is an award-winning magician who blends illusion, humor and storytelling with a message of perseverance and acceptance. Drawing from his personal experience with autism and ADHD, Angus invites audiences to look beyond assumptions and discover the extraordinary within.
Together, their music, art and magic embody the spirit of this exceptional evening.
