Join us for the 6th in our series of online events for artists and practitioners working in the field of dancing with Parkinson’s
Applying inclusive dance practice to dance for Parkinson’s.
In this online session Louise Marshall will lead practical activities inspired by her experience of working with diverse groups. The session will illustrate how the same approaches Louise uses for Inclusive Dance can be applied to Dance for Parkinson’s and may offer the opportunity for reflection and extension to familiar practice.
Participants will be invited to discuss how class content can be devised and communicated to be fully inclusive and will be invited to create and share a short activity with the group.
This event is free of charge to People Dancing Members and £5.00 for non-members. Presented as part of the Live Well & Dance with Parkinson’s programme.
Bookings for this event are now closed
Booking deadline: Monday 4 October 2021.
