Let's Connect
Event Description
Let’s CONNECT! is a multi-week series of hands-on activities designed to stimulate the imaginations of older adults and promote human connection. The sessions include a wide range of activities, including physical exercise, music, seated dance, singing, storytelling, and sharing ideas. The activities are facilitated by the TNW Ensemble’s co-founding artistic directors, Donna Peckett and Danielle Dresden, who have worked extensively with older adults since 2012. These activities are drawn from the workshop leaders’ more than 39 years in theater and creative drama, and movement. National research has shown the improvisational approach of “Yes, and…” to be very effective in reaching people living with memory issues.
