Dementia Action Week events in Enfield

Tuesday 16^th May: JaZanne Arts present an immersive arts experience including music, song and dancing at Park Avenue Disability Resource Centre, 65c Park Avenue, Enfield EN1 2HL. From 2-3pm. Everyone will be welcome.

Jacqui Livingston will be performing excerpts from Jazanne Arts' touring reminiscence theatre 'Exchanging Dreams'. Jacqui will take the audience on an interactive journey sharing memories from the Caribbean and UK, inviting the audience to singalong to popular songs and inviting them to join in with the dancing. The show is particularly suitable for people born in the 40s, 50s and 60s and goes from childhood memories, to dancing days, visits to the seaside to singing in the rain.

The show was created with the help of a range of people who shared their stories, memories and favourite songs. 'Exchanging Dreams' is particularly suitable for people living with dementias and their families/carers, with plenty of music, projected photos and film, objects and smells to stimulate memory and most importantly, spread joy.
