“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.
