Improv for Parkinson’s

LEVEL 1 (VIRTUAL)

This 6-week course is designed to introduce students with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to the foundations of improvisation and apply improv skills to life with PD. 

We encourage family members and care partners to attend with participants.

All Improv for Parkinson's courses are now open for registration by donation!

It is our mission to give every person with Parkinson's an opportunity to try improv. By opting for a donation-based registration, we aim to make these programs accessible to as many people as possible.

What is the Jam for Joy?

The Jam for Joy is for people with PD, care partners and the medical/wellness staff who serve our community. It's an hour of improvisational fun, connection and discovery in a safe/brave space where we show our full selves, have each others backs at all times, and know there are no wrong answers. Absolutely no experience is required - come as you are!
