The Joy of Dementia (You Gotta Be Kidding!)
A playful and philosophical exploration of how we can create a new performance of dementia with Mary Fridley, Susan Massad and special guests
Across the globe, practitioners and patients are working to use play, performance,
the arts and improvisation to challenge the “tragedy narrative” of dementia and
create approaches that support everyone, including those diagnosed, to develop and
to live with/perform dementia in new and more positive ways. This experiential
gathering is open to everyone – people with dementia, caregivers and other family
and community members, program staff and advocates – who are looking for new
and more growthful ways to approach this issue. We hope you will join us for a
conversation about, and “showing” of, the power of play and philosophizing to
promote development, inclusion, hope…and yes, JOY in even the most difficult of life
situations.
