Peekaboo I See Miracles
Working alongside a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals, Bob entertains residents in memory care homes. While playing music in dementia communities he has first-hand many levels of awakenings. Awakenings motivated by creative levels of communicating with his friends. Friends who often seem unaware of their surroundings. He knows better. Each performance in a memory care home is like an ongoing creative experiment into what pathways he can take to elicit an awakening. To some, at times his actions during a performance may appear quite odd, but that is the point. Repeating certain songs, or physical movements such as facial expressions, vocal inflections or deflections, expressions in body movements (yoga postures), and humor may cause unexpected or miraculous behaviors. At least the families think so.
