Mission Statement
Our Mission is to inspire change - for individuals, communities and systems - through extraordinary art, sparking magic between generations.
About This Cause
We bring younger and older people together with artists working across many artforms, to create powerful artworks and performances, challenging how society thinks about ageing. For 30+ years, we have pioneered intergenerational arts practices and experimental creative projects, engaging individuals and partner groups - care homes, schools, cultural organisations - to combat social isolation & build community. Based in Tower Hamlets, east London, we have grown a rich body of innovative work connecting people across generations and from different ethnicities, faiths and backgrounds. Magic Me is a specialist in bringing arts into care homes and connecting meaningfully with residents, particularly those living with dementia. We aim to lead the way in intergenerational arts, uniting people of all ages, daring to challenge the norms of how older and younger people can work together. We believe that the arts, both visual & performance led, should be accessible to people of all ages including those who are at the end of their life and those with dementia. We like to innovate and challenge the norms of what is offered in terms of art for older people, for example our Artist Residencies in Care Homes project is in partnership with a circus and aerialist company, a cabaret collective, a performance artist and an immersive theatre company. Our highly successful, award-winning our Cocktails in Care Homes project is now running 10 evening parties a month in care homes across London, hosted by our volunteers. These events provide a change from the norm for residences, an opportunity to meet younger people and a glamourous event for those who are no longer able to go out.
