About the Book

Creative Ageing makes a case for cultural participation by older adults to enhance the quality of their lives. Building on concepts of adult human development and empowerment, Libby Brooke reframes 'active ageing' to include forms of creative expression and cultural participation crucial to transforming the post retirement life course.

Focusing on the micro-level of the experiences of older adults in visual arts, dance, theatre and music, the book showcases multi-perspective case studies compiled from community-based initiatives and care settings carried out in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia to explain creative ageing in practice. Through the analysis of arts forms which are each also embedded in theoretical sociological frameworks, and the lens of critical gerontology, the case studies explore and develop theoretical insights about older adults' experiences of art-making, including of ageism; interrelated with components of arts practices and set within macro-level political contexts. Drawing out success factors within each arts form, the author contributes to a transferable framework and model.

Breaking fresh ground by suggesting a new theoretical framework for activating 'creative ageing', Libby Brooke ultimately argues that 'active ageing' must reframe cultural participation as an integral domain at the crux of health and wellbeing. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how quality of life and quality of care can coincide, by enabling adults to flourish creatively as they age.
