A New Prescription - For Doctors! &Raquo; File 17

A new prescription – for Doctors!

Dear Doctors, I have a new prescription for you. It’s called improvisation via Yes, And…eXercise! (YAX!). You may have heard of improvisation, but you most likely haven’t tried it. And, even if you did try it or see it somewhere, it was probably in a performance-based form – which is sort of an off-label version […]

For those who know me, you know that I may have Parkinson’s, but Parkinson’s […]

But nothing will change your mind until you open it. Improvisation must be experienced. So rather than me just telling you more, I’m going to […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the thing that goes bump in the night. I can’t always see its physical effects, but I can always feel it there, lurking. It’s also the fastest-growing neurological disease in the world and, according to the authors of Ending Parkinson’s Disease, a pandemic. For those who know me, you know that […]
