MIME + DANCE = SYNERGY
With support from @parkinsoncanada.bsky.social Dancing with Parkinson’s formed a community partnership with Mime Over Mind. Barbara trained dance teachers who to integrate therapeutic mime into their dance practices.

If you’d ever like to get the free app to measure tremors & dyskinesia you can download StivePD.

I’m not sure ‘why’, maybe the cardio I do 3x/wk, maybe diet, maybe volunteer work, maybe arts? And I am very happy nonetheless.

Barbara, one of our CareFund recipients, continues to inspire with her creativity and dedication. She uses therapeutic mime to support people living with Parkinson’s and raise awareness through the arts.

We’re so proud to see her share this important work with the Neurohumanities Network!

Looking forward to sharing my experiences using my background as a professional mime to move more ‘normally’, despite having Parkinson’s, & how I use visual art to inform others about PD.

Here’s my latest illustration depicting people with Parkinson’s who do not have a Caregiver - or - the means to hire one.
