Since September 2016 I have been working with Jewish care – storymaking and improvisation for people living with dementia.
Storymaking - taking a theme and creating a story with ideas from the group. This hour-long session has afforded us many enjoyable and creative happenings.
We’ve gone sailing around the world on a boat revisiting our favourite places – dancing in California, going to an east end pub and having a knees up, enjoying a day out together at south end on sea, being taken to Hawaii with Elvis Presley!
These sessions involve activities, music and most importantly fun and creative interaction.
Please see a small clip from the last song at the end of one of the sessions.
Thank you Jewish care. Great working with you.
Me - Do you fancy coming to the moon today?
Participant - Yes how shall we get there?
Me - I don’t know do you have any ideas?
Participant - I think we should dance to the moon,
Me - Great idea
Me (to another participant) fancy coming to the moon today with us?
Participant - No thanks I like to keep my feet on the ground.
