Inhaltsangabe

A photo-documentary of 12 remarkable San Francisco Bay Area women artists, musicians, dancers and storytellers, 85-105. In a world full of negative aging images, "Aging Artfully," illustrates the fact that old age can be a fulfilling time of creative exression and gratification - not of inactivity and loneliness.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Amy Gorman first became interested in aging as a young speech therapist working with patients at V.A. Hospitals. Later, as a medical social worker, she witnessed the devastating effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. These experiences led to her service as a board member of Lifelong Medical Care, an organization addressing the medical and social needs of the aged.She founded Kidshows in 1982, a non-profit that introduces children to the arts, live theater, music and dance. During her 18 years as Director, many professional performers shared with her their concerns about growing older, and whether or not they would be able to continue earning a living in their chosen art form."Aging Artfully" is the synthesis of Gorman's experience working with aging and the arts. She likes to sculp ceramic heads, scuba dive, hike and watch penguins. She lives in Berkeley with her husband, dog and cat.
