Coinciding with Dementia Awareness Week in May 2017, The Dot Collective ran a series of storytelling and creative writing workshops with care centres in the South East, where many of the participants live with dementia or severe memory problems. This collection of poems, short stories and plays is the result of those workshops where the participants shared their memories, feelings, ambitions through poetic form and let their imagination take them on trips to an unknown island, houses made of white wool, back in time to Brighton West Pier or to a perfect world when there's no need to wear trousers.
The plays were developed from their stories by playwrights Alexander Moschos and Hester Kent. The final plays were toured as a professional performance to all the care centres involved in the project and to the general public. Found in Translation is a collaboration between the participants of those care centres and The Dot Collective.
