Still Dancing 2023

Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's in the US alone.

Just six minutes of your time could help spread awareness about the condition. And in that spirit, Movement Mantra and Third Half Theatre have come together once again to bring you our play, Still Dancing.

Based on the true story of a Parkinson's Hero, Still Dancing weaves together music, dance, and the theatre to create awareness about Parkinson's Disease (PD) and highlights the real-life issues and challenges faced by people with PD and their families. At the heart of it, the play is the story of a family. A family like yours and mine, with the same hopes and dreams. The play follows their lives, their joys and of course, their hardships.

It is an attempt to humanize PD and show the real-life issues and challenges faced by people with PD, their caregivers and their loved ones. It is an attempt to sensitize the general public, dissolve the stigma associated with the condition and create awareness on the possible interventions available for those afflicted. It is a portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.

Moments from the 2019 staging of Still Dancing
The play will be staged at The Emirates Theatre, Jumeirah on Friday the 26th of May and Saturday the 27th of May 2023 at 7:30 pm. Tickets on Platinumlist.

It is our wish that through this production, more people will become aware of the condition and take action to help the cause. We thank you for your support and hope that the play encourages you to go ahead and #Take6forPD.
