Workshop with Simone Sistarelli - 14th/15th of April 2017
In the frame of our 25th edition and alongside our performance program, LUCKY TRIMMER Tanz Performance Serie aspires to launch a brand-new workshop initiative. The LUCKY motto "Dance is for everyone!” is at the heart of our latest endeavor as we aspire to showcase that everyone, despite movement disorders or emotional distress can benefit from dancing.
Workshop Description
The key concept of the Popping for Parkinson’s classes is to use the Popping dance techniques as an innovative therapeutic tool towards improving the physical condition of people affected by Parkinson’s disease. Popping is a form of urban dance originating in California in the late 1970s, involving rhythmic contractions of the dancer's muscles to accent the beat.
It is the first time that Popping has been used as a tool for medical purposes and the feedback until now has been very positive: Participants not only see improvement in their natural movement capacities, but also gain confidence, feel less socially isolated and have fun. The workshop is open to people of all ages suffering from Parkinson, caretakers, family members, friends, dance practitioners/teachers or scientists who wish to gain insights into the Dance for Parkinson work.
