Film: Turn of the Tyne

Pelican Theatre and the Live Well and Dance with Parkinson's Performance Collective.

The River Tyne is one of the UK’s most iconic rivers and a key cultural landmark of the North East. It is a river of great contrasts, from its rising tributaries in the remote hills of the Scottish Borders, to the strength of its industry running through Newcastle and Gateshead, to its eventual emptying into the vastness of the North Sea.

Film: Dance for Parkinson’s

Each week, thousands of people with Parkinson's in 25 countries around the world enter the creative space of the dance studio to participate in specially-designed classes led by trained teaching artists. Drawing on more than 17 years of experience as a founding teacher and, more recently, program director of the Mark Morris Dance Group's acclaimed Dance for PD® program, dancer David Leventhal will explore the unique benefits of dance for people with Parkinson's and their families.

By exploring the program’s origin and objectives, as well as some of his team's latest initiatives, Leventhal will make the case for the role that the arts—and dance in particular—play in helping people maintain a sense of human identity in the face of health challenges like Parkinson's, and how the artistic and creative elements of dance provide a lifeline that allows individuals and families to focus on possibilities rather than limitations.
