The Art of Living

Published: May 7, 2025

(Recorded in April, 2025) The Art of Living is the Spring 2025 Student Project Showcase created by KLN Class of 2025 graduate students Neil Ortiz and Stacy Landrum. The short film explores how movement and community help seniors in their ‘Golden Era’ stay vibrant and healthy.

From dance floors to pickleball courts, Neil and Stacy explore the lives of older adults who prove that staying active is key to living well. They visit Mostly Waltz, a monthly dance event in Broomall led by Peggy Leiby and Ret Turner, and drop in on Gail Bingham’s high-energy aerobics class in Pottstown. In Mount Airy, they meet Tina Allen, whose Soul Line Dance sessions bring joy and rhythm to her students. The film also highlights seniors’ growing love for pickleball and the sense of fun and connection it brings.
