Not trained in #DementiaCare.
And seeing I need at least informal training if things continue on the current track.

So don't take the following as more than an anecdote.

#TableTopStories on events in their own life and overviews of life-courses are pretty powerful for my elderly relative who is afflicted with #Dementia.

This #Storytelling / #Dramatisation is a generalising of the (bits obvious to me) method of #ForcedEntertainment's #TableTopShakespeare.

So far; good for pair and trio.

Having watched a few #TableTopShakespeare we tried diy freestyle #TableTopStories.

Third performance of the night had a mid 1950s date night with a young woman going with her date from one dance, in his car, to another dance distant from home, and her struggle to get home after losing confidence in her date.

Chatted after, music was listened to.
And then #TheSaints #Stranded played. #Narrative #Synchronicity #AusMusic
20 years from the mid-1950s.
