2010 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: Northern Liberties
  • Change Partner: Lutheran Settlement House
  • Discipline: Performance

Keila’s goal is to bring dance to people surviving with Parkinson's Disease (PD) by creating a local dance for PD Program. Through using the principles one learns as a dancer, she hopes to help people with PD to train their brains to build new pathways to control movement. During the four month long project, instructors will teach sessions to PD survivors and their caregivers. Movements will be modified, based on the dancer’s ability and the project will culminate in a community education performance. Keila looks to broaden the concept of the dance community to include the aging and those with varying abilities, believing that dance is for all people and all bodies.
