• Singing and use of simple, hand-held instruments
• Learning theatrical tools designed for people of all levels of ability, including cognitively challenged participants and physically challenged participants using wheelchairs and walkers
• Sharing ideas and feelings to develop thematic content and text, concentrating on a positive, fanciful and transformative focus

The workshop is given in single and multi-session formats. Family members, caregivers and staff are encouraged to attend and participate.
Duration of each session: 60 minutes.
