Timeslips Creative Storytelling Essentials

Nearly thirty years ago, Anne Basting asked a question that changed everything. What if we stopped asking people to remember and started inviting them to imagine? Through “Beautiful Questions,” Anne discovered a pathway to connection that shifts us away from the expectation of memory and toward the freedom of imagination. In her TED Talk “How to Meaningfully Reconnect with Those Who Have Dementia,” Anne shares how bringing creative care to scale — embedded within care systems — could ease so much pain. Watch as she brings together artists, staff, and elders to reimagine stories and create beauty and meaning together. This is the work. This is the vision. 🔗 Link in bio to watch Anne’s full talk and learn how you can bring TimeSlips to your community. #TimeSlipsCreativeCare #BeautifulQuestions #CreativeCare

This Friday, the magic continues. Watch as dancer Lenny Cruz invites residents of Luther Manor into a moment of pure joy through movement and dance. See the smiles. Feel the connection. Experience what happens when creativity meets care.

It’s a beautiful testament to what’s possible when we lead with imagination and meet people exactly where they are. Want to watch more? We’ll be sharing more clips each Friday, but you can also watch the whole documentary via the link in bio. #TimeSlipsCreativeCare #FindingPenelope #danceheals #creativecare #theodyssey

Watch another beautiful connection unfold in this clip from The Penelope Documentary. Maureen and Elizabeth discover something profound together — that pretending to be someone else isn’t escape, it’s permission. Permission to participate. Permission to show up fully. Permission to be brave. And when Maureen sees Elizabeth light up with this realization? A true connection is formed. They understand each other in a different light, and it’s a beautiful thing. This is a glimpse into the potential that creativity has in care settings. This is what the play Finding Penelope, inspired by The Odyssey, captures.
