At Jazanne Arts we place older people at the heart of our work, using creative arts and reminiscence to improve resilience, wellbeing and quality of life.
Our vision is to strengthen the landscape of arts for and with older people, removing barriers, providing a platform for the older ‘voice’ and raising the profile and quality of this creative work.
We will develop original, bold, older and inter-generational participatory projects and professional theatre of the highest standard. We will use a multi- sensory approach focusing on reminiscence and creativity across generations. By sharing memories, supporting relationships and building resilience we will work together towards ‘successful aging’.
Jazanne Art’s methods include storytelling, reminiscence, drama, music, movement, film, arts, crafts and creative writing. Our beneficiaries are people living with dementia, independent older people from mixed cultural backgrounds and Caribbean elders.
