A Midsummer Dream (2015)

A Midsummer Dream was made in collaboration between Hester Jones and choreographer Jemma Bicknell at a sheltered housing in Hammersmith & Fulham London. The project involved making floating candles with people living with dementia, and a celebratory dance performance in a park by the River Thames attended by the community, and local councillors. The project took inspiration from Christine Bryden's book Dancing with Dementia, to help challenge the social stigmas and to help people live well with this disease. The project was supported by Open Age, and Housing & Care 21.
