Project Description
With the support from the California Arts Council, Invertigo Dance Theatre will foster joy, community, strength, flexibility, balance, and creative expression for those with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative conditions by providing weekly and monthly Dancing Through Parkinson’s classes throughout Los Angeles County. These classes are available by donation, rather than tuition, so that anyone can afford to participate.
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.
