“I’ve learned that you should never give up on anyone. It’s reminded me that there is always memory, personhood, response. It’s been quite incredible.”
“It keeps us normal. It takes our old age away.”
“It’s a rare chance for that person to reclaim themselves. To be whoever they want and to live in the moment, and just for that second, to be free without fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, and not needing anyone else by their side to guide them.”
“The themes are brilliant – it just brings everybody together. Being creative, making things, music, exercise, writing…it’s a great.”
