Created with and for older people living in care.
That Theatre Group presents a joy filled show about winters past. Memories of 100 care home residents provide the soundtrack to this multi-sensory extravaganza of striking visuals, enchanting characters, delightful puppets and sing-a-long Christmas classics.
That Theatre Group CIC produces work with and for older people living with dementia, Parkinsonās, Alzheimerās and other neuro-degenerative diseases. It tours to care homes, providing meaningful therapeutic engagement through theatre.
Winter Wonderland is created by the team that produced Spring into Summer and Songs for Europe, originally produced by Nwoko Arts. The company is currently piloting a model of a ātheatre company in residenceā, where a team of creatives are delivering regular activities with residents, their loved ones and staff. The impact of this programme is being researched by LJMU Faculty of Health & Adult Care.
That Theatre Group produced Krappās Last Tape, earlier this year, which saw the return of former Artistic Director, Graeme Phillips, to the Unity.
