Hi everyone,
As some of you know, I have been working with various orgs. who work with seniors, through projects on creative dance and art. Over the last 10 years or more, there have been more interest in senior arts engagement. However, feedback from the ground of the social sector indicate that there is a need to rethink the quality of our arts engagement, and to ‘up the game’ for ourselves as practitioners.
This is why I initiated this conference on Geragogy and the Arts for 2024, which is co-organised by NAFA, Centre for Lifelong Education. It hopes to bring together experienced Singaporean artist-facilitators who have dedicated 5-10 years of arts practice in response to the seniors they work with. The conference has 2 parts : (1) A set of video presentations, much like conference presentations of about 10 mins. (2) Onsite practice-based workshops on 29th June at NAFA. The focus of this conference is NOT academic. Emphasis is placed on the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of practice.
