Arts4Dementia collaboration

For a second year, we ran this uplifting project with our partner Arts4Dementia. Working with adults with early onset of dementia and their carers, we used artworks, music, and news imagery to create movement and tell stories with our bodies. Over the course of 8 weeks, at the Southwark Playhouse, we created short choreography that connected us to each other and to our surrounding world. 

‘I thoroughly enjoyed myself during this project. I don’t want anything changed. Just more of it. This is what life is about. Everyone is intently absorbed in improving their techniques, it is very positive. People are not the same person they were when they started. It has done them so much good. It’s doors opening.’ – Project participant
