Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, INVERTIGO DANCE THEATRE will produce The Shape of Us, a public dance and spoken word performance co-created with its Dancing Through Parkinson’s (DTP) community. DTP provides storytelling through movement classes to people with Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative, mobility, or age-related conditions, with a focus on increasing flexibility, balance, stability, creativity and joy. The Shape of Us will uplift and center the experiences and artistic expression of people with Parkinson’s and will feature an intergenerational cast, with participation from local school-aged students as well as children and grandchildren of the performers.
Organization Summary
Invertigo’s core programming is focused on offering dance theatre as a catalyst for racial equity and public engagement with and between communities that are systemically marginalized and less resourced. All programs activate dance as a transformational mode of storytelling and community-building as part of a movement practice. Invertigo pursues its mission through its professional dance repertory and production company, and a series of community engagement programs, including Dancing Through Parkinson’s. In 2018, Invertigo was awarded the National Dance Project Production Award – one of the highest national honors in dance – for its new dance production, FORMULAE & FAIRY TALES, hailed as “dance theatre at its finest” by the LA Dance Chronicle and declared “a breakthrough show” by the LA Times.
