Applied Theatre: Creative Ageing
Methuen Drama (Verlag)
978-1-4742-3382-8 (ISBN)
In Part One Sheila McCormick reviews and historicises the practice of applied theatre with, for and by the elderly. It argues that pioneering applied theatre strategies are vital if the creative practice is to respond to the growing needs of older members of society, and reflects on particular cultural responses to ageing and the elderly.
The second part of the book is made up of essays and case studies from leading experts and practitioners from Britain, America and Australia, including consideration of applied theatre approaches to dementia, health, wellbeing, social inclusion and Alzheimer's disease.
Sheila McCormick is a lecturer in Performance at Salford University, UK. Her research interests include documentary, applied and political theatre.
