Its an awesome experience to work with talented, enthusiastic and passionate people even when they do not have any experience in digital art, they can still work wonders within 2 lessons! This is Elise's work(bottompic), multitalented lawyer who wants to pursue her interests in arts as well as music as a sideline/or even her own IP. Great to work with @lionheart_studio together in her learning and direction! check out their myriad of short classes!#dreadjimstudents#digitalartmadeeasyyay#hiddentalents#hiddenpros#recreationalhobby#artsforlife (at Asia/Singapore)

Music to Lift the Fog of Dementia by Lottie Barker Arts 4 Dementia

Arts 4 Dementia offers challenging arts programmes for people in the early stages of dementia as well as providing a website that lists arts events across the country and training facilitators in early stage dementia awareness. A4D focuses on what people can achieve, often very much more than they imagine as our recent workshop series at St Mary The Boltons church shows.

Ten participants living with dementia together with their loved ones or carers joined us once a week between April and June for invigorating music sessions led by clarinettist Jessie and pianist Charis from the outstanding Jacquin Trio. Workshops ranged from teaching participants how to conduct and then demonstrating this by leading the rest of the class as a choir to bringing in items from home and using reminiscence to inspire the creation of music. A highlight was having a jazz pianist in the group who, despite early stage dementia, played beautifully and passionately for us each week from his extensive repertoire. Other participants were completely transported by the music – smiling, laughing and singing along, often dancing spontaneously, truly relaxed and engaged with the art, lifted from the fog of dementia.

 Participants really valued the opportunity not only to learn new skills such as improvisation, singing in harmony and a different dance style each week, even playing virtual instruments on an iPad, but also to socialise in an accepting, stimulating environment.

 Research detailed in A4D’s landmark 2012 publication Reawakening the Mind, showed that an important aspect of these workshops and a way of keeping the brain stimulated is to continue the artistic stimulation between sessions. We were delighted that participants reported :

 “I put the music on and dance at home!”

 “At home I now sing about the place.”

The final session ended with participants performing a song they had written over the past few weeks that had been inspired by Edward Hopper’s famous painting ‘Nighthawks’. The creative spirit of the group was evident and the song had a beautiful quality to it.

 One participant summed up the workshop series:

 “I very much enjoyed today. When I arrived I was having a bad day but I feel better now. I’m still treated like a human being! I feel energised and think I could try something new. This atmosphere makes me feel alive. It’s a lifeline. I feel alive, like life isn’t finished – I feel like I can still contribute.”

#Repost @baeyyamkeng with @repostapp. ・・・ Every year, the graduates of LASALLE College of the Arts stage an exhibition, The LASALLE Show. I went by and got the chance to look at this year’s works, and am so impressed by their talent, creativity and passion. Got a chance to meet with our young artists too, and heard many wonderful sharings from them - one of which is how they draw inspiration from our local culture and traditions for their creations. I believe these youth have the potential to contribute even more to Singapore’s arts scene, and wish them all the best! Check out the exhibition which runs till 1 Jun (11am-8pm daily).
