![]() ![]() In the beginning, their conversations tended to be one-sided, with him being visibly disgruntled when interrupted. ![]() What followed was Liz successfully employing a range of imaginative sensory activities to get a better understanding of Arthur’s inner world. Initially, she had a difficult time understanding his speech, but she soon realised that she could use more creative ways to engage with him. ![]() During her first visit with Arthur, she spent the time to understand his way of expressing himself. Liz is 26 years old and describes herself as shy, but open to going beyond her comfort zone. ![]() Over time, Arthur has become increasingly socially isolated and stays alone in his room.Īrthur was matched with our Namaste volunteer, Liz. He has trouble engaging in conversations and activities, as he speaks repetitively and can become agitated. Arthur’s dementia impacts his balance, vision and memory, which often makes it hard for him to recognise people or retain information. He is a chatty person who enjoys music and likes to keep his room neat and tidy. Originally from Barbados, he used to work as a bus driver and loved fixing things. One of our volunteers, Liz, recently went the extra mile to provide extraordinary care to one of our community members – Arthur (name changed to protect patient privacy).Īrthur is a 79 year old man with dementia, who at the time of referral was living in a nursing home.

They have added a new dimension to the film as after a couple of outings you could get a tad bored with the staple characters. The characters are so delightful, Gia with her charm and mystery, Vitaly with his bravado but sensitive and weak side, Stefano who is ‘just a bit below average’ but exceedingly perceptive. I also realised that Hollywood sound designer Will Files has done some of the sound on this one, which he had told me in my interview with him this year ( read his interview here). And the music by Hans Zimmer coupled with some amazing tracks like the Afro Circus song and Katy Perry’s song for the film just add to the fun ride (yes of course there’s also ‘I like to move it, move it) and a French ditty sung by the unstoppable Captain DuBois. The 3D is vivid, in your face, psychedelic and smartly used. Madagascar 3 is so fast paced and visually stimulating you won’t have a moment to let your eyes off the screen. A Russian Circus and its colourful bunch of creatures from a hoop jumping tiger called Vitaly (Bryan Cranston), a trapeze artist cheetah Gia (Jessica Chastain) and an Italian seal… oops sea lion called Stefano (Martin Short) give the gang sanctuary but ultimately it is our zoo dwellers that save the circus. The adventure is on, as the gang must evade the evil cop-chanteuse. Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand), capturer and killer of beasts. But our zoo escapees are pining to return to their home in New York, so they find a way to Monte Carlo and… trouble. The well-dressed birds are off to Europe for some gambling in Monte Carlo. The guys at Dreamworks have pushed as many clowns in the car as they could and made Madagascar 3 hilarious and visually fantastic.Īlex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) and King Julien (Sacha Baron Cohen) are abandoned by everyone’s favourite gang, the Penguins, in Africa. This funny animated franchise has just gotten better each time. Starring the Voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Martin Short, Jessica Chastain, Frances McDormand, Cedric the Entertainer. ![]()
