Join us on November 16 for a FREE screening of the award-winning documentary “Capturing Grace,” which follows individuals with Parkinson’s as they prepare to stage a first-ever dance performance. Through determination, adversity, and contending with doubt, the film highlights the transformative power of art and the strength of the human spirit.
Coincidentally, 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of both the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health and the documentary film. Join us either in person or virtually for this moving experience!
The screening will be followed by a discussion with:
- Dr. Silke Appel-Cresswell, Associate Professor and Marg Meikle Professor in Parkinson’s Disease
- Dr. Cheryl Wellington, Professor, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
- David Leventhal, Program Director, Dance for PD
