Dementia Spring writer Laurel McLaughlin spoke with dancer, choreographer, and actress Tara Lee who is a member of Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre. They produced a piece called “The Poet” which tells the story of a man with dementia through movement!
Caring for someone living with dementia is a dance, a journey of ups and downs – with both the individual living with the diagnosis and their care partner playing a unique role. This emotional journey of a dance is what Tara Lee sought to portray in her ballet turned film, “The Poet”.
The Dementia Spring Foundation connects artists with the dementia community to raise awareness and improve access to the arts for people with memory loss.
