Really cool that mediacorp with AIC compiled a Spotify list of songs from different eras. Check out the other suggested activities that the older adults can do from home! https://t.co/dDVzPAkJ1u

Thanks to tech & CB, the arts are able to penetrate to households thru live-streaming. Instead of going to concerts, the concerts come to us. My mum was watching an SCO concert at home which she would not have gone on her own! @ArtsAgeingNTU

Blackout poetry is such an accessible way for people to try their hand at poetry. Sharing a work I did during a classmate's presentation. @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk10AY19T3 #BlackOutPoetry

Caught "Falling" by Pangdamonium online.The play depicts a family's struggle with bringing up their son with severe autism.I love how story telling thru theatre can help one empathise with another person's life circumstances.

Singapore came together to sing the song Home in support for all who are fighting against COVID-19. The song resonates deeply with all who call Singapore home. Singapore Fighting!

Music on the move! Ding Yi collaborated with the residents of tampines to collect sounds from everyday life and had it weaved into their music!Did you hear the chopping board sound? @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6903Wk7AY19T3 https://t.co/sCse4YvI9F

A very comprehsive toolkit that provides almost everything one needs to know when planning art programmes for older adults! @ArtsAgeingNTU #artaging #AG6309Wk7AY19T3 https://t.co/kBOZoNvd33

The Covid-19 situation has seen a no visitor rule at nursing home. Wondering if artist who's been running programmes with the homes are still able to engage them via streaming? @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk6AY19T3

My nephew was given colouring sheets at an eatery.He pass it to his grandma & said colouring is for old pple,as he once saw seniors doing tt in a nursing home. In engaging seniors,how do we balance b/w tasks tt are not too complex yet challenging?@ArtsAgeingNTU

Happy Older People (HOP) in UK promotes age-friendly arts participation by bridging organisations and older people through grants or even providing practical services like transportation to the event.Idea for Singapore? @ArtsAgeingNTU,#AG6309Wk5AT19T3

"Age is an advantage. It informs our creativity." Interesting quote from 'Aging with Freedom'. Could life experiences change our perspective and outward expression? @ArtsAgeingNTU

The arts doesn't have to stop because of Covid-19!BBC will be broadcasting recorded live performance of plays, poetry , book readings etc. for people in isolation.Better mood better immunity system perhaps? @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk4AY19T3

[lengtan @lengtan5]

Is there an inner artist in all of us?It begs the question of what is considered art?Must a painting be validated by others to be considered art or it being a mere outlet of expression be good enough? @ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk3AY19T3

Huan Xin Huang has so much passion for painting, he taught himself as a farmer in Guangdong. We're proud and excited to see the works he's producing in the watercolor class at our Lincoln Square senior center! https://t.co/bSmIYJQ3jy

The simple act of singing engages several functions of our body.The frontal lobe for language,temporal lobe to listen to the music or recall lyrics to a song.Its no wonder that singing can enhance the well-being of an older adult.@ArtsAgeingNTU #AG6309Wk3AY19T3

Caught the play 'Lifespan of a fact' by SRT. It challenged me to question the things I am exposed to everyday, whether they're fact, fiction or urban legend. Story telling as an art form can be used to challenge the mind for growth.

The beauty of a pair of hands made wrinkly by age is that they also represent the wisdom that comes with age. @ArtsAgeingNTU ,#AG6309Wk2AY19T3

@artsageingntu,##AG6309Wk1AY19T3 Most people's reaction when talking about arts is that they are not into it. Observing pple in public,many are listening to music on earphones which is a form of art!Has the commercialisation of arts led people think that only high arts is arts?

#AG6309Wk1AY19T3 @ArtsAgeingNTU I once spoke to the founder of the Glowers Drama Group and she said that the elderly compared to young people are less shy about performing. She reckons that cuz of their age, they have less reservations. Possibly?
