This episode kicks off our 4-part series featuring people with Parkinson’s who found one form of the arts to be helpful with managing symptoms and gaining perspective. We will explore four different art disciplines – photography, dance, writing and music. We wanted to hear directly from the person with Parkinson’s rather than an expert on the research on why the arts can be an important part of your Parkinson’s therapy. So, each episode will be a personal story about that person’s challenges and struggles with their PD journey and how each used a different art to find understanding, insights and joy.
Up first is an accomplished photographer whose work is in galleries and books. She will tell us how her perspective of herself changes after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This lead her to publish a book with photos which draw connections to her experience with PD.
This is a fascinating and interesting conversation about how you can use art to help in so many ways. For example, the art of photography in this case being used to visually confront the disease and learn to find calm and joy in the final product and the work to get there.
We hope you consider picking up a forgotten art interest or learn something new. It could bring you joy and help with your symptoms.
