This dance class is specially designed for people living with Parkinson’s disease, but caregivers and supporting family or friends are also welcome, as are individuals living with other movement or neurological disorders.
Dance is a fundamental expression of human emotion. Rather than focusing on a particular style, this class will open and utilize participants’ individual movement abilities. The class emphasizes positive qualities of dance: joyfulness, mental activity that integrates physical and cognitive health, excellent full-body exercise, activity that utilizes the senses of vision, hearing, and touch, Inclusive so every person is acknowledged.

THREADS—A Dance/Theater Piece Exploring the Fabric of Memories @ Firehouse Performing Arts Center
Oct 26 @ 7:30 pm

Do you remember that shirt your father used to wear while working in the yard, or the apron your grandmother wore every year while making Thanksgiving dinner? THREADS, a theatrical dance piece explores our history through the fabrics of our family. Performers investigate a father’s navy whites, a mother’s pre and post cancer blouses, and a great aunt’s swimsuit from her days in the Aqua Follies. Dancers Kate Stevenson (“The Mom Project” and “Prison Pieces”), Vanessa Daines (“The Family Project” and “Positive”) and Yuki Matsukura (“Airings…voices of our youth”) not only pull from their own family member’s closets, they also dive into the clothing of our community to share the lives of those around us.
“I wore this Pendleton skirt when I was a Junior at Park High. I actually think this was the skirt I wore at the school dance when Wally asked me to dance the final dance, the necking dance. I would NEVER do the twist but I did slow dance!”
Some playful, some serious, all heartfelt, the stories in THREADS invite a bounce back in time and the invitation to visit the fabric of your memories. October 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m. and October 28 at 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center. Tickets $15.00 online at kuntzandco.org, Village Books in Fairhaven and at the door.
