“Every dance class, I feel the tether of Parkinson’s loosen.”

“Every dance class, I feel the tether of Parkinson’s loosen. You beckon us to stretch beyond the stiffness of mind and body that inhabits us, binds us. You think we can dance, and so we dance, much to our surprise. Our fellow dancers exude a kind of joy that spreads to us all. PD falls away.”

– Carol Jenkins, Reconnect with your Body class participant

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month.  Honor our amazing Reconnect dancers with a donation to our annual fundraiser!

our mission

Art as Action brings people together at the intersection of dance, (dis)ability and creative potential.

19 years of Artivism

Art as Action was founded in 2002 to be a collaborative collective of Artivists— which we define as champions and ambassadors of the communal, universal, and healing language of art. Artivism emboldens the distinct, rare creativity deep within each individual.

OUR MISSION: Art as Action brings people together at the intersection of dance, (dis)ability and creative potential.
