I’m so excited for the March 30- April 1st Creativity Matters: Health, Wellness and the Arts Symposium coordinated by the National Center for Creative Aging. I’ll be doing an all-day TimeSlips Creative Storytelling training workshop at the Iona Senior Center on Monday the 30th.
On the 31st, there’s a knock-out line up of folks presenting on dementia, storytelling (fiction and non-fiction), and the Meet Me At MoMA program. I’m honored to be included.
On the 1st, there’s a hands-on workshop with the MoMA folks to learn how they lead discussions about art with people with dementia and their care partners.
In some ways, this is a mini version of the book (Forget Memory, due out – at long last – in May/June), as it contains profiles of the StoryCorps Memory Loss Initiative (presenting!), the MoMA program, and TimeSlips. I’ll be doing an overview of the field that pulls on much of my research for the book.
Hope to see some of you there!
Anne, the symposium link and the MoMA links didn’t work for me. Don
The links should work now!

Do you know if they’re planning to publish the papers or put them online? This is tremendously exciting. I hope the conference gets a lot of good, national publicity — from the New Yorker to Parade Magazine! Susan
We should all post many references to this!
