Creative Ageing and the Arts of Care presents a compelling argument for the inclusion of cultural participation among older adults in order to enhance their quality of life. Building upon concepts of adult human development and empowerment, Elizabeth Brooke redefines active ageing to encompass forms of creative expression and cultural engagement that are essential for transforming the later stages of the life course.
The book focuses on the micro-level experiences of older adults in visual arts, dance, theatre, and music, presenting multi-perspective case studies drawn from community-based initiatives and care settings across the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Through the analysis of arts forms embedded in theoretical sociological frameworks and the lens of cultural gerontology, the case studies explore and develop theoretical insights into the experiences of older adults in artmaking, challenging ageism.
The case studies interrelate meso-level interactional processes involved in art-making with macro-level structural contexts. By identifying success factors, the author articulates a transferable policy framework and practical recommendations for a multi-level model of creative ageing.
Breaking new ground by proposing a novel conceptual and practical framework promoting creative ageing, Elizabeth Brooke ultimately argues that active ageing must be reframed to include cultural participation as an integral domain at the core of well-being. The book demonstrates how the quality of life and quality of care, including self-care, coincide by enabling adults to flourish creatively as they age.
