Creative Interventions
Our creative interventions empower older people to regain their voice in society. We encourage imagination, storytelling from personal to fanciful to being downright silly. We prefer to deliver our bespoke workshops in small groups and even with individuals to give them a meaningful interaction, which is tailored to them and how they wish to interact in that particular moment.
We have found in our experience that our workshops work best when delivered weekly over a period of time. After all creativity is like a muscle, when used regularly it is built up to achieve something otherwise seemingly unattainable.
The workshops we deliver include; (this is not an exhaustive list)
Poetry- including creating their own, exploring and repeating poetry.
Puppetry- including exploring, telling stories and making shadow puppets, hand puppets and marionette.
Creative reminiscence - including using reminiscence objects, pictures and tailored responses.
Music- including exploring, making soundscapes and singing well known songs together.
Storytelling- we all love telling and listening to a good story and we encourage this through our workshop allowing time for own stories, group stories and nonsensical stories.
