ABOUT ANNE'S WORK
Anne Basting is a theater artist and educator demonstrating the potential of storytelling and creative expression to improve the lives of elders experiencing cognitive impairment. Across a variety of formats and platforms—theater, memoir, narrative, collaborative public performance, and academic research—Basting has developed an alternative concept of aging, one that focuses on its possibilities as well as its challenges and views sustained emotional connections as critical to our well-being as we age.

Her breakthrough project, TimeSlips, is an improvisational storytelling method in which older adults with cognitive impairment imagine stories and poems in response to inspiring cues. Basting used a collection of poems by the residents of Luther Manor Home in Wisconsin to create and stage a theater piece with the residents in 2000. She then refined and transformed TimeSlips into a formal therapy protocol guided by her fundamental insight that the creation of new stories can be an enriching substitute for lost memories. Basting has since created several theater pieces with elder collaborators around specific themes or community issues. The most ambitious of these, The Penelope Project (2010), grew out of a series of writing, visual arts, and music and movement exercises that imagines the life of Penelope as she awaits the return of Odysseus in Homer’s tale. Other projects, such as Islands of Milwaukee (2012) and The Crossings (2014), have encouraged community engagement, promoted intergenerational interactions, and raised awareness around elder safety.

Basting’s perspective on aging and the power of stories is changing the perceptions of caregivers, family members, and policy makers around the artistic and creative capabilities of older adults, regardless of age or cognitive status. Her nonprofit, TimeSlips Creative Storytelling, offers online and in-person training programs and has helped long-term care facilities and caregivers around the world implement TimeSlips. Through performances and scholarship about the development and efficacy of her approach and theater projects, Basting is widening the reach of her artistic advocacy and ensuring that all citizens age with vital human connection.

关于Anne的工作
Anne Basting是一位戏剧艺术家和教育家，她展示了讲故事和创造性表达的潜力，以改善有认知障碍的长者的生活。通过各种形式和平台--戏剧、回忆录、叙事、合作性公共表演和学术研究--Basting发展了另一种老龄化概念，即关注其可能性和挑战，并将持续的情感联系视为我们年老时福祉的关键。

她的突破性项目TimeSlips是一种即兴讲故事的方法，有认知障碍的老年人根据鼓舞人心的提示来想象故事和诗歌。Basting利用威斯康星州路德庄园之家的居民的诗集，在2000年与居民一起创造和上演了一个戏剧作品。然后，在她的基本洞察力指导下，她将TimeSlips改进并转变为一个正式的治疗方案，即创造新的故事可以丰富替代失去的记忆。此后，Basting与长者合作者围绕特定主题或社区问题创作了几个戏剧作品。其中最雄心勃勃的《珀涅罗珀计划》（The Penelope Project）（2010年）是在一系列写作、视觉艺术、音乐和动作练习的基础上发展起来的，想象珀涅罗珀在荷马史诗中等待奥德修斯回归的生活。其他项目，如《密尔沃基之岛》（2012年）和《十字路口》（2014年），鼓励社区参与，促进代际互动，并提高老年人的安全意识。

Basting对老龄化和故事的力量的看法，正在改变护理人员、家庭成员和决策者对老年人的艺术和创造能力的看法，无论年龄或认知状况如何。她的非营利组织 "TimeSlips创意故事会 "提供在线和面对面的培训课程，并帮助世界各地的长期护理机构和护理人员实施TimeSlips。通过表演和关于她的方法和戏剧项目的发展和功效的学术研究，Basting正在扩大她的艺术主张的范围，并确保所有公民在重要的人际关系中变老。
