Your_Daily Dose of Dopamine_501
We discuss the process of being friends, partners, and the work of improvisation and storytelling – all with the goal of improving quality of life. How do we get there? Mytholigization! Is that a word?
We’re getting close to putting "it" out there. Everything we’ve done in the safe and brave spaces of our classrooms is getting ready to be seen by the public by publishing our works. Here’s how it works…
Who is this show for? Short answer: everyone. Is there something we’re not talking about that we should? Let us know and be the guest that shines the light on what we’re missing!
Robert and Susan form an interesting duo. Robert is a longtime care partner for his father with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Susan is a woman who was diagnosed with PD in 2015. They’ve both made award-winning films about their experiences with PD and are now co-founders of the non-profit, YAX! – www.yesandexercise.com.
The mission of YAX! is to provide a safe, fun and kind place for people with and affected by Parkinson’s disease to connect, empower and enhance their lives through improvisation.
That’s right: improvisation. We play – mostly online so we can get as many people as we can from as many places as we can. We do not charge. We do accept donations from those who wish to pay it forward.
Robert earned his PhD from the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He is researching the effect of improvisation on PD and the results of his clinical trials can be found at his website, www.yesandexercise.org.
Join us for fun, laughter and your daily dose of dope(-amine).
