Getting creative with Parkinson’s

What’s the relationship between Parkinson’s and creativity?American film-maker, hip-hop artist and person with Parkinson’s Walter J Archey III and UK composer and musician Amy Mallett join us to discuss the interaction between Parkinson’s and creativity. In a lively and enlightening episode, the two discuss: •How Parkinson’s affects creativity – Walter discusses how the condition affects his ability to rap and Amy explains how singing can help people with Parkinson’s regain control of their voice.•Building confidence and community – the guests reflect on how creativity helps people “leave their Parkinson’s at the door”, encourages an active and social lifestyle and benefits mental health. •Using art to raise awareness – Walter discusses how his single ‘Light Blue Room’ educates people about Parkinson’s and the two consider why artists like Michael J Fox and Billy Connolly serve as inspiration to the community.The Parkinson’s Life podcast is brought to you by Parkinson’s Life (https://parkinsonslife.eu), the online lifestyle magazine for the global Parkinson’s community, and supported by the European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA)(www.epda.eu.com/), the leading voice for Parkinson’s in Europe.Please rate and review us on YouTube – it helps make sure others can find us!
