Don't worry, be happy!
Our wonderful Twilight Music and Art Therapists are always coming up with new ideas for collaborations, offering different ways for our residents to engage and participate with their creativity.
During this Art and Music Therapy collaboration session residents made their own ‘worry dolls’.
Worry dolls are small trinket-like dolls that a person can express their worries and fears to. They can be a really good way to help people express and externalise fears and anxieties.
Worry dolls can be used anytime and can be taken anywhere. For a musical twist, our residents first engaged in lyric analysis at the beginning of the session.
Residents looked through a variety of printed lyrics and were invited to select some phrases that resonated with them.
These phrases were glued on the base of the doll, thus personalising and setting the tone of the doll.
Residents shared their selected lyrics and engaged in discussion reflecting on the significance of their chosen phrases.
Residents then decorated their dolls, bringing them to life with their own personality.
Just another way we are supporting our residents to live fulfilled and enriching lives at Twilight!
