David Iverson’s look at a dance therapy program had its world premiere at Mill Valley last year. It went on to DOC NYC, Denver, Dance on Camera, Wisconsin, Sedona, Sarasota, and Minneapolis-St Paul, among others.
I wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
Recognizing that music and rhythmic activity can help those suffering from Parkinson’s disease achieve greater control of their mobility, two dancers from New York’s Mark Morris Dance Group lead a workshop teaching dance and movement to a group of Parkinsonians. As the tenacious participants joyously regain a sense of bodily freedom, they rehearse for a public performance that celebrates the transformative power of art and community to upend expectations and provide hope.
