"What's Possible?" is a question of vital concern to progressive educators, artists and activists as well as ordinary people throughout the world in these chaotic times. What we believe to be possible determines "what" we try to change and "how" we try to do it. How do human beings come to our collective conclusions about what's possible and what's not? How are the borders of the possible established by various cultures? Are there ways to break out of established ways of understanding/interfacing with reality? Can we create new ways of seeing and bringing into being new possibilities?

At once rigorous and flexible, tool and result methodology is as conceptually mind bending as it is powerful on the ground. First coined by Newman & Holzman almost four decades ago, how has this radically humanistic method grown and transformed along with the new kinds of political, educational and psychology movements it has helped to build? Join Lois Holzman for a playful and philosophical exploration around and about the history of this revolutionary approach to human development.

Across the globe, practitioners and patients are working to use play, performance and the arts to create new ways of seeing dementia and Alzheimer's - approaches that support everyone - including those diagnosed with dementia - to grow and to live with/perform dementia in new and more positive ways. This experiential gathering will feature some of these practitioners and is open to everyone - including people with dementia, caregivers and other family and community members, artists and performers, activists and advocates, program staff, policy makers and researchers - who care about this issue. We hope you will join us for a lively conversation about, and "showing" of, the power of play, performance and the arts to promote development, inclusion, hope...and yes, JOY in even the most difficult of life situations.
