NEW VIEWS Documentaries & Dialogue: “Capturing Grace”
“Parkinson’s disease is, as of yet, incurable. Dance can’t heal it, but as [Capturing Grace] demonstrates, it can be a powerful tool in combatting some of its effects… dance takes the disease, which could separate body from spirit, and unifies it, the outcome of which is shining, graceful humanity.” —Erin Bomboy, The Dance Enthusiast
“Capturing Grace” is a story about two realms. One is occupied by some of the most acclaimed modern dancers in the world. The other is inhabited by a group of people with Parkinson’s disease. This film is about what happens when those worlds intersect.
For the film’s director, Dave Iverson, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s eight years ago, it’s also a personal story. Chronicling Dance for PD®, the Mark Morris Dance Group’s unique partnership with the Brooklyn Parkinson Group, this is a film about rediscovery, a remarkable community of people, and a rediscovery of grace. Dance for PD® has emerged as an innovative global program that has launched in more than 100 communities in 11 countries, impacting thousands of people with Parkinson’s, their families, and care partners. (USA, 2014, 64 min.) Dance for PD® Program Director David Leventhal and Dave Iverson will be featured in post-screening conversation.
