Embodied Storytelling & Social Impact

My role: Performance and Choreographic Direction

Parkinson’s Expression is a multidisciplinary performance exploring the evolving relationship between Parkinson’s Disease and the human body. Using dance, spoken word, music, and motion graphics, the work translates a complex medical and emotional reality into an embodied experience.

Originally created as a live performance for Shake It ’Til We Make It, a gala hosted by the Brian Grant Foundation, the piece was developed to communicate what often remains unseen: how Parkinson’s reshapes movement, identity, and daily life. Rather than illustrating the disease, the work invites audiences to feel its rhythms, disruptions, and resilience through the body.

The response to the live performance was so resonant that the project later evolved into a film, extending its reach and allowing the story to be experienced beyond the original event.
