ALLSTON, Mass. - February 06, 2007 - The body of a dancer is celebrated as physical perfection on stage. Long, muscular limbs, executing an almost super-human range of motion, help define this form of expression. But a Boston-based artist is winning raves for challenging that notion.

Lisa Bufano recently performed her first modern dance piece to a packed house in New York...and she has no legs below the knees. Here's WBUR's Arts and Culture reporter Andrea Shea with more on her story.
