This week is Dementia Action Week, but we don’t just think about supporting people once a year. 💙

We spend every Friday at the Merton Memory Hub providing those living with dementia, and their carers, a chance to move to a bit of music, a decent cuppa, and some actual human connection.

Fridays prove that life doesn't stop with a diagnosis. It just needs a different rhythm. 🎶

Come join the movement. Check out our website for more info 🔗 www.attictheatrecompany.com

Our first Thursday Movement Mornings session (in the afternoon!) was a huge success! (Take a look at some of the highlights below! 📸)

Fun & Fitness: A professionally led fusion of global dance styles designed to boost your flexibility, strength, and memory. No experience needed!

Connection: As you can see from our photos, the post-dance tea, coffee, and catch-up are just as important as the movement itself.

🗓️ Thursdays (NEW!): 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM at Canons Leisure Centre, CR4 4HD

Over the last few weeks Artistic Director, Tom, and writer, Emma, have been working in Lincoln on the first stage of our process for LIE IN IT. The team have been running workshops exploring what 'home' means to different people. We are looking forward to returning to Lincoln for our R and D and to share our work with those who joined us in the workshops.

We'll also be running workshops in London and York to support the creation of our new play exploring the UK housing crisis.
