"We are thrilled to partner with the ChangingAging Tour to help people across the country recognize that the senior years can be the best years."
The 2017 tour will feature two unique and powerful performances:
An immersive and transformational experience, Disrupt Dementia sheds light on what we can learn from people living with dementia in a blend of live music and storytelling. Humanitarian and refugee Samite Mulondo joins musicians, Richardson and Namarah McCall, for an enlightening performance co-hosted by Dr. Jennifer Carson and Kyrié Carpenter. This is not an attempt to discuss the treatment of dementia, but rather to change our culture and explore how we can all live well.
Mixing music, storytelling and poetry in a lighthearted manner, Dr. Thomas and his team assert just how "crazy" our culture's perspective on aging can be. Rather than seeing it as a process of decline, tour guests will discover how to approach aging with enthusiasm. Aging: Life's Most Dangerous Game is a 90-minute journey into disrupting the current perception of age and aging.
Between shows, guests can engage with one another to discuss the performances and share their thoughts on how aging is viewed in today's culture.
