Improvising Care at Arts Centre Melbourne, The Show Room

Improvising Care is an experiential workshop running June 20–27 at Arts Centre Melbourne's The Show Room, exploring how arts-based techniques can support communication with those living with dementia. The first of its kind in Australia, it is designed for family members and loved ones of those on a dementia journey, teaching tools such as applied improvisation to help foster connection and reduce stress. Facilitated by actor and theatre maker Trudi Boatwright, the workshop is made in collaboration with TBC Creative and supported by Dr. Paulina La Rocca of the University of Technology Sydney.
