Awakening Joy in Dementia Care is a workshop designed for caregivers, both formal and informal. Through story, performance, demonstration, and play, we will share how the arts can bring joy to caregiving and to the dementia journey. Participants will learn how music, poetry, storytelling, visual arts, dance, and improv can help them connect more meaningfully with loved ones navigating the dementia path.
