Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, INVERTIGO DANCE THEATRE will support Dancing Through Parkinson’s (DTP) and Dancing Through Life (DTL). DTP is a community arts dance program specifically designed for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative and age disorders. Weekly classes are offered at six Los Angeles sites: Culver City, Venice, Beverly Hills, Tarzana, Calabasas and Inglewood.
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.
