Graphic Scores: Art, Music and Parkinson’s
A special evening of live music and visual art created through a collaborative project with University College London, exploring the experiences of younger people living with Parkinson’s.
Over a series of workshops at University College London and Kings Place, participants aged 18–50 have worked together to explore their experiences of living with Parkinson’s through art and music. With the support of professional musicians and artists, the group has developed visual material and a new piece of music shaped by their ideas, experiences and creative contributions.
This performance brings that work to the stage, sharing the music developed during the project alongside the visual artwork that inspired it.
The project explores how collaborative music- and art-making can support wellbeing and provide new ways for people with young-onset Parkinson’s to express and communicate their experiences.
The event is open to participants, friends and family, the Parkinson’s community and members of the public.
