Adaptango Performance PRocess for Older Adults Community reHabilitation

This is a pilot study designed to assess the impact of the mediator/instructor role between dyads of older and younger adults as they engage in art and dance activities that address challenging topics. The study aims to evaluate the effects of the Adaptango Performance Process (APP) on creativity, justice, and quality of life among persons with Parkinson's disease (PWP), people living with dementia (PLWD), and young adult participants. Validated measures of creativity, justice, and quality of life will be administered before and after the intervention. The findings from this pilot phase will be used to inform the design and power calculations of future larger clinical trials intended to more definitively evaluate the effects of the APP program on creativity, engagement with challenging topics of societal importance, and psychosocial health across generations. Findings from the arts-based method evaluation will also be considered when interpreting and reporting study results.
