Movies Reimagined, documentary, Julia Vering

Описание: Movies Reimagined highlights performance artist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist Julia Vering’s novel way of engaging a diverse population of long-term care residents in improvising classic movies through humor, imagination, and multi-sensory elements. The film documents both the capacity of residents to fully engage through embodied, adaptive, theatrical and musical ways, and the resulting community building, joy and expansion of roles and identities the process fosters.
