This AI-PAMI Patient & Caregiver Presentation is a collaboration with Arts for the Aging, entitled ‘The Healing Power of Expressive Arts.’ Karen Estrella, PhD, REAT, LMHC, leads discussion about the research into expressive arts (movement, music, drama, visual arts, writing and creative processes) and their connection to aiding in pain management. Teaching artists of RÓMEZ3arts, Carlos César Rodríguez, D.M.A., and Peter Joshua Burroughs, D.M.A., use piano and song to provide musical exercises for viewers to participate in the arts, no matter the skill level or previous experience. They also provide a performance of ‘La vita e mobile’ for audience enjoyment.
