DANCE WELL // Movement Research for Parkinson (Lavanderia a Vapore, Turin)

An artistic practice that promotes dance in museum spaces and artistic contexts, and is aimed primarily—though not exclusively—at people living with Parkinson’s.

The Dance Well practice consists of dance classes for people with Parkinson’s, which are also open to the wider local community. The classes take place in artistic spaces—such as museums, galleries, and historic theaters.

Dance Well supports the professional development of dance artists and dance organizations that engage people living with Parkinson’s, or other movement disorders, with dance. The project expands their skills, competences and knowledge to widen the possibilities of becoming meaningful for the societies they live in, contributing with their innovative approaches to wellbeing and sociall cohesion.

The project is led by Comune di Bassano del Grappa (OperaEstate Festival), K3 -Tanzplan Hamburg, Le Gymnase CDCN Rubaix, La Briqueterie CDCN Vitry sur Seine, Tanec Praha, Lithuanian Dance Information Centre, Fondazione Fitzcarraldo and Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari of Venice. The project is supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
