Kairos mounted 10 interactive 2-way arts engagement webcasts, as planned, then continued with 25 additional webcasts with different funding; reducing geographic and physical barriers, and allowing us to build deeper relationships with older adults with disabilities, their families and care staff; and allowing our Teaching Artists to develop further work. Through online and telephone administered post surveys, we learned that 94% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that their mood was positive; 73% agreed or strongly agreed that they moved in new ways; 77% agreed or strongly agreed that they worried less when they?re dancing; and 56% agreed or strongly agreed that the zoom/computer technology used to access our webcasts helps them. ?This has been one of my favorite new activities during the stay-at-home months of the virus.?
