A huge thank you from the ‘No Place Like Home’ project to all participants, attendees, and our incredible GoFundMe donors — we did it!

We’ve received so many requests to bring this interactive theatre experience back because it creates joy, connection, and equal access to the arts for many who don’t usually have the opportunity.

Our GoFundMe campaign received generous contributions from 3 donors to now bring us just short of $205. On behalf of the artists, thank you so much. https://gofund.me/7e13d828

With the experience that we will deliver tomorrow at Dementia Friendly Cafe, the spirit of our model approach is no different to the Carnival of the Here and Now.

We disrupt traditional notions of status, blurring the line between audience and performer.

We create shared, meaningful experiences—each nuance of exchange carrying intention. Sometimes intimate, sometimes sparking curiosity that invites others to join.

Our collective mindset leaves room for play, for surprise, for small, delightful moments.

Sincere warmth, humanity, and care move between each and every one of us.

In this moment of now, everybody in the room is a king, a queen — sovereign, seen, and celebrated.

Here is a precious memory of Carnival of the Here and Now:

The target is short $405. That's amazing and so close! We had another anonymous donation of $50.00. Thank you so much.
Any amount will help assist to pay the key artists dedicated to producing an experience that people living with dementia do not get to see or participate in.

The following are incredibly talented artists and volunteers working hard in the background towards Dementia Friendly Connect Cafe's special day.

This morning we give a very special thanks to:

Jas Rocca
Alexandra Morse

Our event is Tuesday May 20th and we are 75% closer to the target which is amazing.

If you value access to the arts for people who do not have opportunities to experience a theatre play, you may consider donating to the artists creating the work.

Chris Mead is fundraising to pay artists to co-create a theatre experience with members of a dementia friendly cafe in Ulverstone, Tasmania.
