This book explores how theatre and performance can change the way
we think about dementia and some of the environments in which
dementia care takes place. Drawing on the author's creative
practice and other performance projects in the UK, it explores some
of the challenges and opportunities of making performance in care
homes. Rather than focusing on the transformative potential of the
arts, it asks how artists can engage with the different types of
relationships that exist in a care community. These include the
relationships that residents and staff have with each other as well
as relationships with care spaces. Exploring the intersection
between participatory performance and the everyday creativity of a
care home, it argues that the arts have a cultural role to play in
supporting dementia care as a relational practice. Moreover, it
celebrates the intrinsic creativity of caregiving and how
principles and practices of care work can inform theatre and
performance in diverse ways.
