SUMMARY:"Beyond the Reach" by Rachel Whiting & DTP Community
DESCRIPTION:For the next 24 hours enjoy the amazing work by Dancing Through Parkinson’s (DTP) Teaching Artist\, Rachel Whitingand our incredible DTP Community!\n\nDance for PD Community Festival: Around the World\, Around the Clock\n24 hours of free classes\, presentations\, and events\nApril 29-April 30\, 2022 | 9 AM EDT to 9 AM EDT  (Easter Time)\nOnline at the Festival Website: https://www.danceforparkinsons.online/ \nDance for PD® started as an idea\, launched as an experiment\, and 20 years later has emerged as an innovative\, award-winning global program that positively impacts thousands of people with Parkinson’s\, their families\, and care partners in more than 300 communities in 25 countries. \nTo celebrate 20 years of innovative community programming – and to honor everything you’ve done as a member of our community – Dance for PD is hosting the Dance for PD Community Festival: Around the World\, Around the Clock\, a FREE 24-hour virtual celebration featuring classes\, panel discussions\, and film screenings that highlight the diversity and breadth of the Dance for PD family. \nAbout Beyond the Reach performance: \nThe spring performance included various communities in the performative space to highlight the power\, beauty and importance of difference and disability as a creative force. The performance will feature a multi-generational cast including dancers from Robin Olive’s Straight Up Abilities\, Invertigo Dance Theatre’s Dancing Through Parkinson’s\, ASL Performing Artist Zendrea Mitchell and New York-based dancer/choreographer Pamela Quinn. The evening featured poetry by Poet Laureate Francine Ringold\, original musical compositions by Brian Tagamori and Michael Tiamo and film by multimedia movement artist Morgan Bronk Lutz. \n \n_________________________________________ \nThe Dance Titles featured\nSensory\nVideo Morgan Bronk Lutz \nNotes: A film exploring the world with all five senses. \nMotion of Dreams\nDreamtime\, poetry by Francine Ringold\nOriginal composition by Brian Tagomori\nPerformers Brian Tagomori and Rachel Whiting \nNotes: A trio of artists create a world that invites curiosity and searches for what is beyond the reach of a hand. \nDoing our (Bess)t\nPerformed by Dancing Through Parkinson’s\nChoreography and concept: Rachel Whiting in collaboration with the dancers\nPerformers:\nLinda Berghoff\nHeidi Buehler\nJack Gregory\nMelanie Koon\nJeanie McNamara\nBrian Tagomori\nRommel Go\nMusic by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Le Nozze di Figaro\nCostumes: Jeanie McNamara \nNotes:\nThe Movement Efforts -Body-Effort-Space-Shape (BESS)- developed in twentieth-century Europe by Hungarian dance theorist Rudolph von Laban are the inspiration for Doing our (Bess)t – Laban viewed movement in space as the fundamental principle of life\, seeing it as a redemptive tool to overcome the challenges of modern life. This form of movement analysis is a way to understand and to speak about the body moving in time and space. \nOur dance channels imagery of tasks\, conversation\, competition and play. \nThe Performing Artists\n \nRachel Whiting (creative director\, choreographer\, performer)\nMy dance journey began in a small studio at the back of a strip mall in Colorado. It was there I was introduced to the glorious world of dance through discipline\, imagination and play. Those principles have guided me on the circuitous pathway to completing a Master’s in Dance at the University of Wisconsin’s Peck School of the Arts\, graduating in May 2022! In Denver I performed with Kim Robards Dance and David Taylor Dance Theatre. In New York I danced with Milton Myers\, Ton Simon\, Brenda Daniels\, Mark Jarecke\, Henning Rübsam’s Sensedance and as an apprentice and faculty member at the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. My academic training began at the Juilliard School\, later completing my BA at St. Mary’s College of CA. In Europe I was guest lecture at Oure Idrætshójskole (Denmark)\, and dancer with Skånes Dansteater (Sweden). In addition to my private business of Pilates and Gyrotonic movement therapy\, I am a teaching artist for Dancing Through Parkinson’s\, Straight Up Abilities and The College of Performing Arts (AMDA).\nMy research into dance and disabilities has taught me about the essence of movement and I believe the communities and artists I am a part of carry this intrinsic spirit. As an advocate I examine my own work to ask who has access and equity within. I believe the art’s ecosystem requires work from all sides\, disabled and non-disabled. Together we can support and celebrate the power of art. \n \nFrancine Leffler Ringold Ph.D.\, (Dramaturge\, narrator)\nFrancine was the Poet Laureate of Oklahoma 2003-7 and a 2003 winner of the “Writers Who Make A Difference” award from the nationally distributed Writer Magazine — and several other awards. Her name is also synonymous in the minds of many with Nimrod\, the international literary journal that she edited and championed for over 47 years.\nFran’s published work ranges from poems to plays to guides for creative writing and includes: Still Dancing: New & Selected Poems\, and The Trouble with Voices\, both winners of the Oklahoma Book Award for Poetry\, 1996\, 2004; prize-winning plays\, including one-woman presentations based on the lives of Mercy Otis Warren and Isadora Duncan; and two volumes detailing her creative writing approach\, with examples from her students: A Magic Journey: Writing and Painting at Gatesway (a school for persons with developmental disabilities)\, and Making Your Own Mark: A Guide to Writing and Drawing for Senior Citizens (with art therapist\, Madeline Rugh\, Ph.D.) She has also published a memoir: from Birth To Birth: a Memoir and Guide to Writing Your Memoir\, 2016. Fran recently published: The Way We See Now: A Collaboration of Photography and Poetry with photographer and U.S. Magistrate Judge Sam Joyner.\nA devoted teacher\, Fran has taught literature\, creative writing\, and theatre at the University of Tulsa\, and in the Oklahoma State Arts in Education and Artists in the Schools programs. She has taught in prisons\, The Center for the Physically Limited\, Gatesway Foundation for the Developmentally Disabled\, at Resonance Foundation in a special program for children of parents who are incarcerated\, as well as in diverse classrooms in public and private schools.\nFran is the mother of four grown children and four fast-growing grandchildren. From the age of 7\, she wanted to be a dancer. Circumstances prevented her from attending classes. Now\, at the age of 88\, because of Invertigo’s Dancing through Parkinson’s program — she is. \n \nBrian Tagomori (Composer and performer)\nMy guitar playing had always been a personal experience. I never thought that I was any good and shied away from playing for people. It wasn’t until my diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in 2018 that I let go of my insecurities and realized that playing guitar and creating music was now an essential therapy for my physical and cognitive maintenance. My collaboration with Whitney LePon produced The Ostrich Song. This song would become my first contribution to Dancing through Parkinson’s thanks to instructor Heidi Buehler. It was through the friendships I formed within Dancing through Parkinson’s that I now also have a platform to collaborate. I am home. \n\nMorgan Bronk Lutz (rehearsal assistant\, creative collaborator\, video artist)\nMorgan Bronk Lutz is a dancer\, camera choreographer\, creative director and multimedia movement artist. Morgan identifies her invisible disabilities as a source of power. As an arts advocate\, she is intrinsically motivated by creative community engagement. She grew up in Charleston SC. Dancing at various ballet and competitive dance studios. In 2017 she graduated as a dance major from the prestigious Charleston County School of the Arts. She has done dance course work at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. In 2020 Morgan received her BFA with honors from AMDA College of the Performing Arts in Hollywood CA. In 2021\, she graduated from Full Sail University in Winter Park Florida as the Salutatorian with an MFA in Film Production with a concentration in screen dance. Her choreographic voice focuses on finding the connection between visual art and dance. She explores on and off the camera and aims to create thought provoking\, bold work. She blends her dance choreography and artistic vision with experimental videography\, screen projections and editing. As a camera choreographer she thrives in experimental and avant-garde approaches to cinema and dance. \n \nZendrea Mitchell (ASL Performing Artist)\nZendrea is a multi-talented artist and teacher who has graced stages as an ASL songstress\, actor\, dancer\, and poet. Being Deaf and a Signer has allowed Zendrea to navigate the world visually\, where the movement of the body\, hands\, eyes\, and lips has made space both tangible and alive. Zendrea infuses ASL rhythms to not only decipher and transform music\, but to relate to it as well. Zendrea was molded as an ASL performing artist beginning with being raised in a musical family\, as a member of a signing choir while a student at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside\, and a member of the Black Chorale Ensemble at Syracuse University. She received additional training from the National Theater of the Deaf and Deaf West Theater. She is a graduate of Gallaudet University where she received her Masters of Arts in Sign Language Education (MASLED). As an instructor with StraightUp Abilities (SUPA)\, Zendrea enjoys teaching the dancers both ASL and songs in ASL. As the students sign back to her\, she is reminded of her dream–if all the world signed\, not only would this open eyes and hands\, but the doors of the mind. Zendrea is truly privileged to be a part of this production.

Karlin also brought her beloved family member\, Ann\, and Invertigo staff members Rosa Navarrete and Chelsea Sutton brought their family members to the table; Navarrete lost her father – Luis Navarrete a pastor who worked in a mission in Mexicali\, Mexico and Sutton lost her grandmother in late 2020. Alongside Karlin\, who directs and choreographs\, the film was developed with Glyn Gray (Director of Photography)\, Chris Stokes (Lighting Designer)\, Rebecca Baillie Stumme (Production Manager)\, and Invertigo Dance Theatre staff support. \nThe arts are a way to share stories\, reach across the table and say “I was affected too.” It integrates loss and love of community in a creative way. As Karlin says\, “The kitchen table is full of memories and symbolism\, intercultural exchange and intergenerational connections…there are so many stories to tell.” \nWATCH FILM NOW\nPresenters\n \n  \n \n        \n
