DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:\nTake a day-long deep dive into the impact of caring for family members with dementia or negotiating your own fears of losing your mind with celebrated facilitator and artist Kirsten Wilson. This is an opportunity to gather in community to use the performance "No Contract" to launch your own reflections and writings on the impact of dementia and fears associated with aging.\nThe morning will begin with a performance of Act I\, followed by personal reflections\, writing\, and discussion on dementia. After a shared lunch within small reflection groups\, a performance of Act II\, with a facilitated dialogue\, writing exercises\, and reflections. No skill as a writer necessary\, just the willingness to courageously explore caregiving\, our mortality\, and dementia in community. (Lunch included in workshop fee).\nABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:\nNo Contract is a one-woman show exploring a mother's request not to endure dementia. It asks: "is there a way to have dementia without tragedy\, when 'to be or not to be' is always the question?"\nCreated by Kirsten Wilson in honor of her mother and loved ones everywhere\, experiencing or caring for people with dementia.\nNo Contract is a one-woman show by Kirsten Wilson about her mother's dementia Marie Wilson\, founder of 'Take Our Daughters to Work Day\,' LGBTQ+ leader\, author\, and equity-based feminist.\nThe dramatic 'contract' at the heart of this two-act performance is her mother's request to be killed if she loses her mind. The production blends autobiographical storytelling\, Hamlet\, King Lear\, karaoke\, and audience engagement to explore the complex tension between choosing life and death the "to be and not to be" of assisted suicide after a dementia diagnosis.\nIn No Contract\, Wilson uses humor & heart to prevent both the performance & her mother's life from becoming a Lear-like tragedy. As Wilson says in Act One\, "My mother's life was always supposed to be a romantic comedy\, a 1950's musical\, except with lesbians dancing in the street. I will not let it turn toward tragedy."

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
No Contract is a one-woman show exploring a mother&rsquo\;s request not to endure dementia. It asks: &ldquo\;is there a way to have dementia without tragedy\, when &lsquo\;to be or not to be&rsquo\; is always the question?&rdquo\;

The dramatic &lsquo\;contract&rsquo\; at the heart of this two-act performance is her mother&rsquo\;s request to be killed if she loses her mind.
