Do you know that on top of being enjoyable, dance provides a range of benefits including for people with Parkinson’s? 

This week I interview Clint Lutes who is the founder of the non-profit DaPoPa, which utilises choreographic research, improvisation and somatic practices in its activities. 

In this episode titled “Inclusive Dance” we talk about: 

- the benefits of dance for everyone, 

- the value of dance for people with Parkison’s - at the light of scientific research & DaPoPa’s work, 

- the rising interest for inclusive dance and dance for health actions within our society, 

- Clint's experiences as a Community Artist, the co-creator of LUCKY TRIMMER festival, and his involvment to the research project Störung/Hafra’ah and the research group Labodanse.

More about my guest: 

Clint Lutes is an American in Paris. His choreographic work has increasingly become centered around working with non-professionals and uses dance as a vehicle to inform, connect and

communicate. He participated in the research project Störung/Hafra’ah in Freiburg (D) in 2015, bringing together artists, scientists and people with Parkinson’s to study movement disorder. Clint felt challenged like never before through the richness of the various collaborations, and felt he had discovered a million new ways to view and practice dance via this project. He went on to create the non-profit DaPoPa, which utilises choreographic research, improvisation and somatic practices in its activities. Clint has also joined the research group Labodanse, with improvisation, attention and togetherness being the basis for their studies. He has worked as a dancer, assistant and collaborator with the choreographer Eun Me Ahn for over 20 years, is co-founder of the LUCKY TRIMMER Performance Series in Berlin, and has worked on projects

with non-professionals in collaboration with the Theatre National Chaillot, Théâtre de la Ville Paris, Festival Paris Quartier d’Été, Festspielhaus St.Pölten, Theater Freiburg and elsewhere. 

Enjoy the listening!
