For the first time, this publication allows an examination of innovative national and international practice in applied theatre that responds to the needs of older adults to encourage outcomes such as wellbeing and social inclusion. The volume does so while also questioning how we, as a society, wish to respond to the complex needs of older adults and the process of ageing and how applied theatre practices can help us do so in a way that is both positive and inclusive. 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.0The 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. 410 0$aApplied theatre (Series) 517 3 $aApplied theater 606 $aTheater and older people 606 $aOlder people$xRecreation 606 $aArts and older people 606 $aTheatre studies$2bicssc 615 0$aTheater and older people. 615 0$aOlder people$xRecreation. 615 0$aArts and older people. 615 7$aTheatre studies 676 $a792.084/6 702 $aMcCormick$b Sheila 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795489303321 996 $aApplied theatre$93830024 997 $aUNINA
