Moving Stories

Moving Stories provides older individuals the opportunity to share their story, discover the art of dance and create connections with other individuals through guided exploration of movement.  Participants are encouraged to move, voice, create, share, empower, and connect. Inspired by the work of Liz Lerman and Anna Halprin as well as decades of personal experience connecting people to themselves and others through the arts, Julianne O’Brien Pedersen and Nina Malashock lead workshops that empower and uplift.  Seniors can use the experience to craft their life experiences into dance, bringing powerful memories and stories into the context of expressive art.  Workshops are held on site in community centers, assisted living centers, and senior residence community centers.
