Applied Theatre: Creative Ageing examines the complex social,
political and cultural needs of a diverse group in our society and
asks how contemporary applied theatre responds to those needs. It
allows an examination of innovative national and international
practice in applied theatre that responds to the needs of older
adults to encourage outcomes such as wellbeing and social
inclusion. The book does this while also questioning how we, as a
society, wish to respond to the complex needs of older adults and
the process of ageing and how applied theatre practices can help us
do so in a way that is both positive and inclusive. In Part One
Sheila McCormick reviews and historicises the practice of applied
theatre with, for and by the elderly. It argues that pioneering
applied theatre strategies are vital if the creative practice is to
respond to the growing needs of older members of society, and
reflects on particular cultural responses to ageing and the
elderly. The second part of the book is made up of essays and case
studies from leading experts and practitioners from Britain,
America and Australia, including consideration of applied theatre
approaches to dementia, health, wellbeing, social inclusion and
Alzheimer's disease.
