Moving Minds aims to engender a creative community in which people living with conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, mental health issues, or recovery from stroke, can continue to learn, grow and have access to high quality creative experiences. Alongside a programme of weekly dance sessions and workshops, we engage participants in the co-creation of original performances that draw on the lived experiences of those involved, challenging dominant narratives around dance, illness and selfhood.
Inspired by the heritage of the Rowntrees Plays pantomime heritage, Moving Minds created a original movement film with our members in the York Theatre Royal Studio, using bright and colourful pantomime props and costume.
