About this Event
The Live Well & Dance with Parkinson’s Symposium will offer an inclusive space where our wide-ranging network can come together to connect in person. The programme has evolved to include people with Parkinson’s who dance and their community; dance teaching artists, clinicians & health professionals, partners & charities, researchers & volunteers.
We will create a space for sharing, practical participation and discussion across the ever evolving field of art-led and dance-centred practice in dance with Parkinson’s alongside participant led community action and leadership.
Programme for the Day:
The symposium is hosted by the Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE) at Coventry University as part of the Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership.
The day will offer a vibrant mix of discussions and workshops led by our Area Creative Coordinators, an opportunity for dancing with participants and sharing of the broader context and impact of the Live Well & Dance with Parkinson’s programme.
We will share films, images, and the lived experiences our dancing community and throughout the day you will be invited to share your thoughts and practice of dancing with Parkinson’s for example as a participant, practitioner, researcher, or supporter at our Reflection Café space.
In essence the symposium is about sharing how we delivered the work, what we have learned and what we all might do next in this practice.
Lunch and Light refreshments will be included in your ticket price.
Space are limited and bookings will close on Monday 20 May at 5pm.
