On December 7th Parkinson en mouvement and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts hosted the last workshop of the 2018 fall session. This week’s theme was the “stars”. Hélène, François, Estelle and Louise attended along with employees of PEM and the Museum. Everyone agreed that this course was an exceptional opportunity to combine movement and the visual arts. We will be back in 2019.

The Parkinson en mouvement choir “Les Voix du Parkinson” joined in raising funds for Ste-Justine’s, one of Montreal’s pediatric hospitals. The choir chose to dance on & sing Céline Dion’s « Because You Loved Me » to show that despite illnesses, it is possible to dream & have fun. The words to the song also express something we all felt : in our lives, there are people who believe in us & give us a helping hand. Thanks to them, we can dance, sing & share the love being shown to us. Our entry raised 2 490$ for the hospital.
