About this Event
The arts have powers to positively impact people living with dementia without posing negative side effects or risk. Research demonstrates that participatory art forms empower the artist in everyone, moving beyond a diagnosis and offering a window of expression, creativity, and joy, taking the whole person into consideration and improving quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. Join the panel to discuss the science behind the power; the first-hand experience; and how carers and families can also benefit.
There will be a 15-minute taster dance session as part of this panel. No dance experience required.
In partnership with Healing Arts Scotland.
