Capturing Grace

Capturing Grace is an award winning documentary about an unlikely intersection between two very different worlds. One is occupied by a legendary dance company, people who move with beauty, the other by people who live with Parkinson’s disease and sometimes struggle to move at all. Filmed over the course of the year, Capturing Grace tells the story of what happens when New York’s legendary Mark Morris Dance group joins forces with people with Parkinson’s to stage a unique performance. The film captures the hopes, fears, frustrations and triumphs of this newly forged community. It’s a story filled with enduring characters who demonstrate the transformative power of art and the strength of the human spirit. And it's a film about a remarkable community of dancers--some professional, some not—who come together to capture grace.
