Join us at Springhill Senior Living for a screening of the award winning documentary, "HerStory," an opera film featuring the creative talents of 85 people living with Parkinson’s. The piece incorporates music, libretto, choreography and visual art co-created with members of the UK Parkinson’s community in a series of projects that began back in 2019. In the words of the original cast, the aim of the piece was ‘to show the world what people with Parkinson’s can do.’ The film was first screened to live public audiences at the <a href="https://www.brittenpearsarts.org/events/festival-musical-walk-herstory" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit">2023 Aldeburgh Festival</a>, then made its film festival debut in the <a href="https://www.together2012.org.uk/together-disability-film-festival-2-3-december-2023/" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit">Together!
