This project forms part of Attic’s Older People’s participatory arts programme, Many Moons, working in partnership with the Merton Memory Hub in Mitcham, South London.
Dance-based activities effectively prevent, manage and treat dementia by improving physical and mental health, reducing cognitive decline, and countering feelings of anxiety, isolation, and depression. These inclusive classes introduce participants to various dance styles, promoting health and wellbeing through creative movement. Sessions benefit both those living with dementia and their carers, fostering connections and providing respite.
The Dance Facilitator will have overall responsibility for the delivery of workshops, including their preparation and the administrative support required during the sessions. This includes meeting the requirements set down by the Creative Engagement Producer and the funding bodies.
