If you have ever struggled to connect with someone you love, this episode is for you. Sometimes we just need to look at things from a different perspective. This is exactly what this week's guest - MacArthur Genius, UWM Professor, and founder of the non-profit, Timeslips - Anne Basting discovered when she began working with those living with dementia. Instead of counting on memory, Anne uses her ‘beautiful questions' to encourage creativity and imagination in our interactions with our elders, but really, we these tools are for anyone. At their root is JOY, acceptance and a dignity that says “I see you ... you matter.” And isn't that what this world needs right now? You don't want to miss this one. Listen as we talk about … THE dreamiest job description EVER: sparking people's belief in themselves and in their own creativity and then inviting them to use it to bridge and build. How to turn the relationship of care-giver/receiver on its side, so the power dynamic isn't top a top down intervention but rather a relationship of dignified equals The concept of JOY as a framework, and how she brings that with her, sometimes calling it her “silver lining addiction.” How we've separated healthcare & social care from the arts & culture in this country and how she thinks we're getting close to meaningful (re)integration, which is exactly what we need, and what the research shows is beneficial.And how working with older adults is more joyful than people think!

ANNE BASTING's work at the crossroads of Arts and Aging has allowed her to pioneer new approaches to the challenges faced by our aging population. In this episode we learn how her efforts have helped advance the creative aging approach as a powerful and effective prescription for reducing isolation, promoting social connections, and mitigating a the symptoms of dementia. BIOAnne Basting is a writer, artist and advocate for the power of creativity to transform our lives. She is Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and Founder of the award-winning non-profit TimeSlips.org, which trains, inspires, and supports caregivers to infuse creativity into care. Her writing and large-scale public performances have helped shape an international movement to extend creative and meaningful expression from childhood, where it is expected, through to late life, where it has been too long withheld.Her books include Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Elder and Dementia Care (Harper), Penelope: An Arts-based Odyssey to Transform Eldercare (U of Iowa), and Forget Memory: Creating Better Lives for People with Dementia (Johns Hopkins). Internationally recognized for her speaking and her innovative work, Anne is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, and numerous major awards and grants. She believes that creative engagement can and should be infused into every aging care system and has trained/consulted with Meals on Wheels, libraries, home care companies, senior centers, memory cafes, museums, adult day programs, and every level of long-term care.In 2019, Anne collaborated with a team of artists, elders, and caregivers on her largest project yet – a reimagining of the story of Peter Pan with 12 rural Kentucky nursing homes. She is currently obsessed with growing the memory cafe infrastructure across the United States. Change the Story Collections: Connecting the DotsArts-based community development comes in many flavors: dancers, and painters working with children and youth; poets and potters collaborating with incarcerated artists: cultural organizers in service to communities addressing racial injustice, and in this episode related to arts and aging.Many of our listeners have told us they would like to dig deeper into art and change stories that focus on specific issues, constituencies, or disciplines.

When cognitive decline strikes, caregivers often resist the changes. Anne Basting says there's another way.
“Elevate Eldercare” often welcomes academic researchers from across the aging field, but Anne Basting is the first English professor to sit down behind our mics. Basting is a firm believer in the power of art and creativity as a medium of communication and connection for people living with dementia. From putting on a production of the ancient story of Ulysses at a long-term care community to conducting storytelling sessions for elders over phone lines during COVID, Basting sees the extraordinary potential of people to keep learning, growing, and creating at any age. Join us for a powerful conversation on empowering elders, families, and caregivers with the universal language of art.

What would it take to transform dementia care? While a lot of hope and money is being put into new monoclonal amyloid antibodies like lecanemab, the evidence is that while they are great in reducing amyloid in the brain for those with early Alzheimer's disease, the effects are at best modest in slowing down the decline in cognition and function (more to be said on that in an upcoming podcast). In order to truly transform dementia care we need to think much broader than the amyloid hypothesis. So on today's podcast we invite four brilliant individuals to talk about their perspective on how to change how we as a society and health care system partner with individuals with dementia. These amazing guests include: Susan McFadden, PhD, retired professor emerita (psychology and gerontology) at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh, an experienced researcher and practitioner in the field of dementia, and creator of the Fox Valley Memory Project. Her most recent book is Dementia Friendly Communities: why we need them and how we can create them Anne Basting, PhD, a MacArthur Genius Grant awardee and professor (English/Theatre), University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She created TimeSlips which we talk about in our podcast. Her most recent book is Creative Care: a revolutionary approach to dementia and elder care Abhilash Desai, MD, geriatric psychiatrist, adjunct associate professor in the department of psychiatry at University of Washington School of Medicine, and poet! He wrote a book titled “Psychiatric consultation in long term care” that has a strengths based approach to staging dementia (how cool is that) Judy Long, MDiv, BCC, palliative care chaplain and educator at UCSF and caregiver. She directs UCSF MERI's patient, family, and clinician support with classes and consultation on resiliency, well-being, and grief. We discuss the importance of viewing individuals with dementia from a lens of resilience, the importance of creative engagement (as noted in Anne and Susan's wonderful article on this subject), the role of collaborative care, and what we can do to improve inclusivity for individuals with dementia in our community and health care systems.
Our elders, especially those experiencing dementia and Alzheimer's are often isolated in nursing homes or segregated in elder-care settings, making the final years of life feel lonely and devoid of meaning. But what if we could radically change how we interact with our older loved ones?rnrnAnne Basting, artist and author of Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Dementia and Elder Care, hopes to bring about that radical change. She developed an arts and creative approach that combines evidence-based therapies with methods from theater and improvisation, such as "Yes, and . . ." exercises. This approach fosters storytelling and active listening, allowing elders to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details "correct."rnrnFor over 20 years, Basting has researched ways to infuse arts and creativity into care settings. She is a MacArthur Fellow, received an Ashoka Fellowship, a Rockefeller Fellowship, and author of numerous articles and four books.
Dr. Anne Basting has been trying to bring meaning making into care facilities for over 30 years. In her work with people with profound dementia, Anne has found that individuals were able to respond to improvisation and creative engagement. In this episode, Anne shares amazing stories of how her organization, TimeSlips.org has been using various tools and techniques to build connection and meaning with people in various stages of dementia. Her book, Creative Care, offers many more inspiring stories. As part of this episode (which is recorded live), I show a picture of a dog wearing a feather boa. I asked Anne what types of "Beautiful Questions" she might use to help someone with dementia begin to talk about the picture. Her work, her vision is to reorient care facilities from directing activities to inviting discovery. She believes that care facilities can be transformed from stigmatized centers into cultural centers by opening up meaning making. We talk about her own experience after her mother was diagnosed with dementia and the struggle to grieve and at the same time use creativity to continue to connect. It is hard, and the time you have is precious. Take-aways: As a caregiver or care partner, you need a team. You cannot do this alone. People are afraid that working with people with dementia or in care settings will be depressing. Anne says they are wrong. It is a nourishing, powerful experience that can give meaning to you and to the person with dementia.

Medical anthropologist and professor of humanities and public health sciences Daniel George, PhD, and professor of neurology and medicine Peter Whitehouse, MD, PhD, join the podcast to discuss their recent book, American Dementia: Brain Health in an Unhealthy Society. In it, they argue that 20th century policies focused on reducing inequality, increasing access to education and healthcare, and protecting the environment contributed to today's declining dementia rates, but inequalities in the 21st century are reversing these trends. Discussing the pros and cons of current social and clinical approaches to Alzheimer's disease, our guests challenge assumptions about dementia caregiving and show how we can work together to create a healthier society. Guests: Daniel George, PhD, medical anthropologist, associate professor of humanities and public health sciences, Penn State College of Medicine, and Peter Whitehouse, MD, PhD, professor of neurology, Case Western University, professor of medicine, University of Toronto Episode Topics 3:04 Why use the title American Dementia? What does that mean for you? 8:54 What do you think is wrong with our current societal, cultural and clinical approaches to Alzheimer's disease? 16:10 What are the inequalities we're facing in the 21st century compared to the 20th century?

What would happen if caregiving strategies were inspired by wonder rather than memory? That's what Dr. Anne Basting, founder and president of the nonprofit TimeSlips, asked when she began her research into how the arts could be integrated into dementia caregiving. Basting joins the podcast to discuss her caregiving approach rooted in creative engagement and imagination. From storytelling to beautiful questions to performance, Basting describes a new way of caregiving that helps caregivers and families meet patients and loved ones where they're at to have meaningful connections and spark joy in the later years of life. Guest: Anne Basting, PhD, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, founder and president of TimeSlips, author of Creative Care Episode Topics: 1:31 - What inspired you to bring the arts and humanities to dementia care? 4:51 - Why did you write Creative Care, and what do you want readers to leave with? 7:49 - What are “beautiful questions” and can you offer a few examples? 14:32 - What is in the Creative Care Imagination Kit and why is each component important to the process? 15:49 - You've staged theater productions in care facilities as part of this process. How do performers in these plays respond to being a part of theater and how does the audience respond to the performances? 18:43 - How can people get involved in this organization and what do you recommend to people who would like something like this in a local care facility? 19:48 - What would you say to someone about to embark on the caregiving journey with someone with dementia?

My guest is Anne Basting, PhD, who is a leader in transforming aging and elder care. I have her on this podcast to talk about her Creative Care Imagination Kit.Based on Dr. Basting's twenty-five years of research, this “imagination kit” makes it easy for families, friends, and caregivers to make meaningful connections with elders and others dealing with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, including memory loss. The Creative Care Imagination Kit sparks conversation and encourages active listening, allowing all ages to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.”Dr. Basting's years of research have shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination, adding wonder and awe not only to the daily lives of those with dementia but to all family members, and provides them with a means of connection and communication.

Eldercare is often over-medicalized and approached as a service in long-term and late-life care facilities. But, this method of care can stunt the mental faculties of those whose cognitive abilities are waning. Stories from more mature family members can ripen the lives of younger members of our families and society as a whole. So, why aren't preventative measures and creative solutions common in the realm of elder care? To better understand the cognitive process of aging, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two doctors who strive to maintain mental wellbeing in their aging patients. Dr. Dan Gibbs is a retired neurologist with early-stage Alzheimer's disease who describes key learnings from his book A Tattoo on my Brain: A Neurologist's Personal Battle against Alzheimer's Disease. And English Professor, Dr. Anne Basting describes her work in reimagining late-life and long-term care based on a creative approach as detailed in her book, Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Dementia and Elder Care.
Kathryn interviews Professor of English, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Anne Basting PhD, author of “Creative Care Imagination Kit.” A leader in transforming aging and elder care, she sparks conversation and encourages active listening, allowing all ages to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.” She offers up a proven way to foster imaginative and story-based activities among diverse groups and families, especially caregivers of loved ones and those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. Basting's years of research have shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination, adding wonder and awe not only to the daily lives of those with dementia but to all family members, and provides them with a means of connection and communication. She has spoken or been featured in the PBS documentary Penelope, the TED MED stage and NPR's All Things Considered. Kathryn also interviews Christy Whitman, NY Times best-selling author of “The Desire Factor: How to Embrace Your Materialistic Nature to Reclaim Your Full Spiritual Power.” Manifesting desires has never been easier than with Christy's newest book, which offers the tools for you to find happiness, abundance and success! She proves that desire is the force behind every act of creation, and it is the mechanism through which everything in this boundless spiritual universe is made manifest into physical, tangible form. However, the true gift is not in acquiring our desires; it is the people we become in the process of allowing our desires to move through us. Christy's life-changing message reaches over 125,000 people a month, and her work has been promoted by and featured with esteemed authors and luminaries such as Marianne Williamson, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Marci Shimoff, Brian Tracy, Neale Donald Walsch, Abraham-Hicks and Louise Hay.

Nicole and Cooper welcome Anne Basting, Gerontologist and Professor of Theatre at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts, for a discussion on dementia and elder care. We focus on the power of using theatre, storytelling and other arts when it comes to senior care.
It is not everyday that you get to talk to the arts/non-profit/social change/academic equivalent of an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony winner), but that's what we have for you today with artist, educator, scholar Anne Basting who is the Founder and President of TimeSlips, English Professor at UWM, and MacArthur/Ashoka/Rockefeller Fellow. We invited her on to talk about a new program that connects artists with isolated seniors during COVID but we got so much more than we bargained for.

Thursday on Lake Effect : We explore the connection between racial inequality and the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, we learn how the isolation brought on by the pandemic can lend insight into the isolation caused by dementia. Plus, we hear from the curator of this year’s Sculpture Milwaukee about how some of the work is reflective of what's going on in our culture. Guests: Dr. Camara Jones, epidemiologist and an expert in the connection between race and health Anne Basting, founder of TimeSlips and author of Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Dementia and Elder Care Marilu Knode, director of curatorial affairs and education at Sculpture Milwaukee
Are we focused on the wrong priorities when it comes to elder care? While physical care is important, should our healthcare focus change to put more consideration on the emotional needs of our elders? Today we welcome Anne Basting to learn about how her strategies have been changing the eldercare experience for both healthcare workers AND families. The results are amazing and the methods she recommends aren't only easy to implement, but they solve many issues in elder care as it's currently presented. Plus, looking for a safe place to save your money? During our headlines we'll share all the reasons why investors are mistakenly pulling their money out of American markets and placing it in the last place you'd probably imagine. In our second piece we'll dive into an article covering how Richard Branson moved past some of his failed businesses. During the Haven Life line we'll take a question from Adam, who is investing for his kid's college fund. The cash is currently in a target date fund, and Adam is looking for some advice on how he can pull the money out when it's time. OG gives some great advice here on how you can transition from an all-stock plan to a safe cash-fund all by the time the kids graduate high school. As always, we'll save some time for Doug's trivia.
This past month, Thomas and Maggie had the honor of interviewing Dr. Anne Basting regarding her new book, "Creative Care: A Revolutionary Approach to Dementia and Elder Care." Dr. Basting, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, discusses her work as a creative gerontologist, and her role as a family member impacted by dementia. She also addresses the COVID crisis and the changing care landscape in the U.S. All ASDP listeners are encouraged to read her book, watch this Ted Talk, and check out the myriad resources created by her team at Time Slips. But first.... before doing any of that, those listeners should listen to this incredible interview.
In her new book, ‘Creative Care’, Anne Basting describes her breakthrough work with people with dementia. https://www.radiofreepalmer.org/2020/05/26/author-interview-creative-care-2020-5-26/feed/ 0 no
예술과 창의력을 노인 간병 환경에 적용함으로써, 노인학자 앤 배스팅은 치매를 앓는 사랑하는 이들과 가족이 다시 연결될 수 있도록 돕습니다. 이 마음을 움직이는 강연에서 앤은 "아름다운 질문"의 방법을 공유합니다. 정답과 오답이 정해지지 않는 질문을 통해 발견과 상상, 경이로 함께 하는 길을 제시합니다. "우리가 창의력을 간병에 적용할 수 있다면 간병인은 자신이 돌보는 이들이 의미있는 무언가를 만들어 내도록 유도할 수 있습니다."라고 배스팅은 말합니다. "그 순간 간병은, 종종 상실을 가져오는 그 돌봄은, 새로움을 창조하는 행위가 될 겁니다."
Ao incorporar arte e criatividade nos ambientes de atendimento ao idoso, a gerontologista Anne Basting ajuda as famílias a se reconectarem com os entes queridos que têm demência. Nesta palestra emocionante, ela compartilha como fazer "perguntas bonitas", que não têm uma resposta certa ou errada, abre um caminho compartilhado de descoberta, imaginação e admiração. "Se podemos infundir criatividade nos cuidados, os cuidadores podem convidar um parceiro para criar significado", diz Basting. "Nesse momento, os cuidados, que muitas vezes estão associados à perda, podem se tornar generativos".
By incorporating art and creativity into elder care settings, gerontologist Anne Basting helps families reconnect with loved ones who have dementia. In this moving talk, she shares how asking "beautiful questions" -- questions that don't have a right or wrong answer -- opens up a shared path of discovery, imagination and wonder. "If we can infuse creativity into care, caregivers can invite a partner into meaning-making," Basting says. "In that moment, care, which is so often associated with loss, can become generative."
Durch die Integration von Kunst und Kreativität in die Pflege älterer Menschen hilft die Gerontologin Anne Basting Familien dabei, wieder eine Beziehung zu geliebten Menschen mit Demenz herzustellen. In diesem bewegenden Vortrag erzählt sie, wie das Stellen "schöner Fragen" - Fragen, auf die es keine richtige oder falsche Antwort gibt - einen gemeinsamen Weg der Entdeckung, der Phantasie und des Staunens eröffnet. "Wenn wir Kreativität in die Pflege einfließen lassen können, können die Pflegerinnen und Pfleger zur Bedeutungsgebung einladen", sagt Basting. " Dann kann die Pflege, die so oft mit Verlust verbunden ist, auch generativ werden".

En incorporant art et créativité aux soins gériatriques, la gérontologue Anne Basting aide les familles à se reconnecter à ceux qu'ils aiment et sont atteints de démence. Dans cette conférence touchante, elle partage comment poser de « belles questions », des questions qui n'ont pas de bonnes ou de mauvaises réponses, qui entrouvrent un chemin commun de découverte, d'imagination et d'émerveillement. « Si nous pouvons inclure de la créativité dans les soins, les aidants pourront inviter les soignés à produire du sens », affirme Basting. « Et à partir de ce moment-là, les soins, qui sont si souvent associés à la perte, peuvent devenir productifs. »

If there are two people in Milwaukee you'd want to listen to for a little longer than the average, it's Anne Basting and Brad Lichtenstein. We give this interview a bit of room, since we cover a lot of ground, Homer, an original play, a film, the places we go to die and collaborating with those we love. To make up for lost time, Adam Carr puts Brad Fiore through the paces with the first ever Art City Asks lightening round. Finally, gallery owner Debra Brehmer and Kevin Miyazaki share some impressions of the Wisconsin Triennial. Settle in. Art City Radio is produced by Adam Carr.
Anne Basting, a professor of theater and the author of "Forget Memory: Creating Better Lives for People With Dementia," talks about the nature of memory, and how storytelling can help people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Info at www.InsideStoriesOnline.com.
