New Play about Creativity without Memory at HERE, Oct. 30, 2001 - Nov. 18, 2001
Based on actual stories created by people with Alzheimer's, TimeSlips is a collection of magical tales from the imaginations of people living without memory. Puppetry, movement, and live music are used to capture the humor and poignancy of lives that exist outside conventional boundaries of time.
Previews begin on Tuesday, October 30 at HERE, playing through November 18. TimeSlips is being presented as part of TimeSlips Project New York, a month-long series of public arts and education events in New York City this fall that celebrate creative expression by people with Alzheimer's.

Hope Clarke (B'way: Purlie, Hallelujah Baby), John Freimann (Devil's Advocate),
Jodie Lynne McClintock (B'way: Long Day's Journey¦, RSC Season; The Art
of Success ), Michael Shelle (Code of the West), Sheriden Thomas (Waiting for
Godot) and Judith Van Buren (The Cherry Orchard). TimeSlips performances will
be held at HERE Arts Center, located at 145 Sixth Avenue, New York, NY, (between
