Animation – using personal and significant objects to bring stories to life.

Q” animation is memory that moves and evolves”
(Sherman in Gehman & Reinke 2005)

Bo and Zoe pioneered animation with people living with dementia.

Choosing objects which represent or link with skills and interests can be a catalyst for learnt behaviour. They can provide a cognitive light switch or an external trigger like music.

Sometimes just holding the object is enough. The instant playback facility of the animation helps mitigate the anxiety of losing your place.

It also allows participants to ‘Zone into the detail’ at their own pace and focus on certain moments that had a profound resonance.

The liberation from the literal in stop frame animation provides an opportunity for creative expression that can transcend language, bridge realities and communicate sometimes sensitive and personal narratives. The process is an all encompassing activity that can be immensely therapeutic, improve mood and focus.
