 ator Anne Basting is working toward a moment when the arts are integral to
  the entire life cycle. For over fifteen years\, she has developed and res
 earched methods for embedding the arts into long-term care\, with a focus 
 on people with cognitive disabilities like dementia. Through the nonprofit
  TimeSlips Creative Storytelling and books including Forget Memory: Creati
 ng Better Lives for People with Dementia\, The Stages of Age: Performing A
 ge in Contemporary American Culture\, and The Penelope Project: An Arts-Ba
 sed Odyssey to Change Elder Care\, Basting has put forth an alternative co
 ncept of aging\, one that focuses on its possibilities as well as its chal
 lenges\, and that understands art and emotional connection as critical to 
 our well-being as we age. Join us for an enchanting evening with Anne Bast
 ing\, who will inspire us to age—and think about aging—in a new way.\n

  and Finding Penelope\, a play inspired by a year of intergenerational con
