Our VetArtSpan host Fred Johnson talks with esteemed teacher, choreographer, producer, and director John Parks. Fresh from his collaboration with Diavolo dance and a group of inspired veterans, John talks about how movement is a universal means of expression, and how "muscle memory" can give us a way to become fluent in the language of movement. Usually used to "feeding" his students, he and the veterans that he mentored as part of this Diavolo project were all "fed" by the total group effort. Working with veterans helped him to understand what the reintegration process must have been like for his father, a veteran of the Korean War.
