BOOK BEYOND MEMORY TO RAISE AWARENESS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

TimeSlips touring exhibit and performance is available to come to your community to demonstrate how easy it is to engage with people with dementia through imagination, story, and movement. A 3'x10' book of images inspired by stories by people with dementia invites viewers to share their own stories in return. Performers lead audiences through a karaoke-style sing and move-along to stories, audio, and choreography created by people with dementia. Dare to imagine the connection that the arts make possible for families with dementia - and have FUN!
