PRESENTATION OUTLINE
DIAVOLO's The Veterans Project
The MISSION of The Veterans Project is to utilize DIAVOLO's unique style of movement as a tool to help restore veterans' physical, mental, and emotional strengths through workshops and public performances in communities all around the country.
“I was diagnosed with PTSD when I returned from Iraq, and there was a moment early on in rehearsal with DIAVOLO when I realized it was the first time I have truly felt at peace since returning from war, and I’ve been back a decade.”
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
- DIAVOLO provides a unique way of connecting veterans and civilians through movement workshops and residencies.
- This program creates a safe environment for returning war veterans to confront the psychological and physical challenges that encumber their reintegration.
“The same discipline is there, but the creative freedom is something we have in DIAVOLO that we didn’t have in the military.”
