Moving Through 2021:
Past, Present and Future
An online experiential presentation of Culture Mill's innovative program linking Dance with approaches to Parkinson's Disease.
Thursday, May 27th at 7pm: Free
Join Culture Mill co-directors Murielle Elizeon and Tommy Noonan, along with Dr. Jeffrey M. Hoder of Duke University, for a dynamic presentation of the history and the unfolding future of the Moving Through project. From the creation of a performance on the main stage of the American Dance Festival, through ongoing classes supported by South Arts and ADF, towards an upcoming pilot research study in collaboration with the Duke Movement Disorders Clinic, Moving Through is a multifaceted project that is seeding new approaches to both healthcare and art-making through interweaving researchers and dancers living with and without Parksinon's Disease. The experiential embodied program on May 27th will include footage from the project as well as live presentations from Elizeon, Noonan and Dr. Hoder.
Moving Through is funded in part by ADF with a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council. This project is made possible in part with a grant from the Kenan Charitable Trust. Additional support is provided by RTI International and The Duke Movement Disorders Clinic.
Moving Through enters its third year, drawing together partnerships with the American Dance Festival, Duke University, RTI International, South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and local partners in an ongoing effort to seed new perspectives in approaches to Parkinson’s Disease. The project began with Culture Mill’s 2019 commission by the American Dance Festival: They Are All. Along the way, continuing and expanding classes in Durham and Alamance counties have brought partnerships with researchers at Duke and Wake Forest, and a multidisciplinary working group has sought to better understand and document our unique approach to Parkinson's Disease through movement in an artistic context. This program is funded in part by a grant from the William R. Kenan Charitable Trust. More information in this specific program can be found at www.movingthrough.livE
