A documentary film from Playhouse on Park’s resident dance company, stop/time dance theater.

Streaming online March 20 – April 18
$20 per stream

Created by Darlene Zoller

“stop/time – before time stopped” is a look back at how one person’s dream and one random act of kindness changed the lives of many. In 2004, a dream turned into a reality. Seventeen years later, stop/time dance theater is still going strong. It would take more than a global pandemic to keep this group of performers from pursuing their passion. They may not be together on stage but they’re still finding a way to bring their story to the Playhouse on Park audience.

It’s the time of year when individuals with disabilities, their parents, advocates, and their educational support team are planning for the year ahead and setting their goals for their future. This process typically includes the creation of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to set and track goals across a year. For individuals who are 16 and older, this is also often a time when they begin to plan for their transition into adulthood while exploring post-secondary learning opportunities.
As a provider of programming and services for young adults with disabilities, Vista Life Innovations knows first-hand the importance of this process and the anxiety that it can produce.
In the effort to share our knowledge of this process with others, Vista is offering a session on the topic of transition.
“Guiding Neurodiverse Students in Post-Secondary Transition Planning” is a one-hour webinar that provides an overview of the process while also offering information and resources to attendees. This event will be co-hosted by Vista Admissions Managers Steph Foulkes and Suzanne Gregory, and Amy Brown, a Transitions Consultant from South East Consortium for Special Services, Inc.
