Letters of Love and Dementia

Letters of Love and Dementia was a participatory theatre and literary event created by Samantha Bews in partnership with Alzheimer’s Australia Victoria and the Goldfields Library Corporation. The mise en scene was a high tea; the focus of the event was letter writing. Guest speakers read letters they have written to someone living with dementia then participants were invited to write their own letter to someone living with dementia, or, for the person with dementia, to someone journeying with them.

Inspired by the original Letters of Love and Dementia event by Dr. Catherine Barrett.
