[Adta] see video clip "There is a Bridge" movement with Alzheimers

[Donna Newman-Bluestein]

Thank you, Lillian.

I tried to see if it would be playing in Massachusetts, but it apparently is not playing in the near future. However, I found a video clip of this sequence with Naomi Feil and Gladys Wilson. It is quite lovely.

Thanks, again, Lillian.

  Perhaps this documentary has been shown on PBS in other cities.  This will be the first time in Cleveland.  Naomi has a five-minute segment in which she does some remarkable work.  She attended a number of dance therapy workshops sponsored by Cleveland Modern Dance Association (Now called DanceCleveland) in the past and is a member of the Dance/Movement Therapy Study Support Group associated with DanceCleveland and Mather Dance Center of Case Western Reserve University.

  "There is a Bridge," a one hour documentary that illustrates how Validation Therapy can bring very old people, diagnosed with a dementia, back to life will be shown on Sunday, December 30, at 5pm on WVIZ, Cleveland.

  You will witness a dramatic breakthrough in an unforgettable scene with 87-year-old Gladys Wilson, who seems to be a living dead person, and Naomi Feil.  Naomi uses Validation techniques: Music, mirroring movement, touch and a deep emotional connection."
