| Annotation | As people with dementia become increasingly withdrawn, the use of drama can provide another means of stimulation enabling them to relate to others and experience increased moments of well-being. The author describes the role of mime, story-making, role play, movement and music in empowering people with dementia. He sees his work as being complementary to that of occupational therapists and other arts therapists. (RH). |
