Fernandez Akademi Inter-action research and development project What was the Project? Akademi created an active research and learning space for professional dance educators working with older adults in two London boroughs. The pilot research programme challenged and explored the best practice in engaging older adults in dance, related arts and creative activity, using South Asian dance; social dance; folk; story-telling; reminiscence work as a spring board for discussion and investigation. It explored best practice in working with older adults and evaluating and reporting the benefits of dance on older adults as a creative physical activity in a partnership with University Campus Suffolk. Akademi collaborated with the Bengali Worker’s Association in Camden and Nexus Latinoamericanos Dance Company in association with Acton Community Forum and Oaktree Community Centre in Ealing. The programme worked with these two organisations in order to compare and contrast approaches in teaching and to reflect on best practice for differing groups of older adults.In Camden Akademi worked with an all women’s Bangladeshi elders group. In Ealing we worked with a mixed gender group with a diverse ethnic demographic. What was the learning? Working with two different groups and methods of teaching was a fascinating project for Akademi. We learnt that dance continues to be hugely valued as a creative physical and social activity which provides us with a space in which we can learn, share and develop. Akademi are also proud to see that the project participants realised the potential of South Asian dance and its ability to stimulate the body and mind. Participants highlighted the joy of being intellectually stimulated as well as challenged physically. In achieving this harmony we hope that they can continue to find confidence to take part in dance into the future.” Jess Linton, Education and Community Programme Officer, Akademi What else did people say? There is a need to promote activities for the over-fifties and I believe that the best idea is to the dance, because dance is a therapy, is a therapy mind a therapy for the body, it’s a therapy for the soul as well. I want them to know that dance is what they make out of it… They always said that when they leave the class, when the class is finished they have a big smile in their faces because it’s such a happy music.” - Margarita Zuluaga, Nexus Latinoamericanos Director and Dance Instructor, Oaktree Community Centre, Ealing Contact Information Jess Linton | Education and Community Programme Officer | Akademi Telephone: 0207 6912 3210 Email: [email protected]; [email protected] www.akademi.co.uk/educationa 4 Sharing the learning Arts Engagement with older people and families Image by Paul Rogers Image by Paul artsdepot with The Alzheimer’s Society and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust. In the Limelight. What was the Project? In The Limelight was artsdepot’s first project working with older people with dementia, and the first project of its kind in Barnet. It explored a wide range of art forms and themes and in a short time brought together a group of people to reminisce, share laughter, try new things, make friends and be themselves. Over the course of twelve weeks, participants and their carers took part in a regular programme of theatre workshops centred on themes such as reminiscence. The workshops were led by a professional theatre director and musician. artsdepot and The Alzheimer’s Society provided hands on support during these sessions. In The Limelight culminated in a performance in the Studio Theatre in March 2010 for an invited audience and members of the public. What was the learning? In the Limelight was “a chance for the participant’s to unleash their creativity; to play; to sing; to laugh and to explore together. What I love about theatre is that there is no right or wrong answer and it gives space for people to come alive. It can be so empowering and I think this is particularly important for people with dementia. From my experience of performing in care homes, carers often express surprise at people’s levels of engagement as well as their lucidity and sense of humour. I find that if a limit is placed on someone’s capability they will often obey and ‘not be able’. My motto is to always assume people can. This isn’t a theatre workshop for dementia; it’s a workshop for people who happen to have dementia. Therefore, in many ways my approach is no different from any other theatre project.” Suzy Harvey, project workshop leader Contact Information Tom Wilton | Education Officer | artsdepot Telephone: 0208 369 5452 Email: [email protected] www.artsdepot.co.uk 5 Sharing the learning Arts Engagement with older people and families Image by Emily Candela Image by Emily Audiences London Family Advocates What was the Project? The aim of this project was to set up new and sustainable ways for arts organisations to collect and act on feedback from families. Audiences London worked with two organisations to test out ideas and pilot models; these were CGP London and Croydon Clocktower. Each organisation selected their own area of particular interest for their own ‘family panel’ to be involved in. Each project was designed to help organisations to integrate audience needs into their planning and to increase the engagement of local families with their organisation. What was the learning? This project has shown us why you should think more broadly when it comes to families. How do you cater and consult about the needs of families when families are naturally diverse and needs are varied? Working with Croydon Clocktower helped us to think about how the interests and needs of family members are multifaceted, intersecting but not always corresponding and how you can respond to this with a genuine offer. How do you describe a family? Through the project at CGP London, it became really evident that there was one non- traditional family living locally that were actually the natural ‘family panel’ for the gallery.

The TStrategy fits within the broader new Cultural Strategy 2007- 2010, and supports the Council’s Business Plan, which in turn contributes to the Community Plan which is the responsibility of the Merton Partnership. The Arts Development Team in consultation with the Arts Consultative Forum, our strategic partners, the community, private and voluntary arts organisations and providers has produced this Strategy. It clearly states our priorities, acts as a co-ordinating tool for the development of art activities and venues across the borough. By providing strong leadership we can maximise external funding, support our strategic partners and creative industries, avoid duplication, encourage partnership working and support Merton’s residents who wish to participate in cultural events or build their skills and employment possibilities in the cultural sector. By 2010, this strategy will have made a significant impact on the health and sustainability of our communities by: G Improving arts education in Merton’s schools and providing accreditation G Strengthening and promoting our festivals, events, venues, and artist work spaces G Settling the foundations for Merton’s full participation in the 2012 Olympics G Building cohesive communities and improving mental and physical health G Improving enterprise and business skills or artists and creative industries G Celebrating Merton’s diverse heritage This strategy will deliver these aims and sets out our priorities for the arts in Merton.
