Improv for Parkinson’s, offered by Improv for Work and Wellness, is designed to introduce people with Parkinson’s Disease and care partners to the foundations of improvisational theatre (improv) and apply improv skills to life with PD.

It is known that exercise slows the progression of PD, and so, we exercise the brain by using improvisational theatre to support cognitive health. Through games, exercises, and discussions, our program targets word search, working memory, creativity, and emphasizing facial and other physical expression, and explores themes such as acceptance, presence, celebrating mistakes, and co-creation.

We offer Level 1 and Level 2. Both programs are six weeks long and meet virtually on Zoom.
