My Unseen Disappearing World

Sometime after being diagnosed with a rare younger onset dementia, I decided to share my personal story and how I use it as motivation to live a fuller life. Being a Word Artist helps me capture memories, and speaking, blogging and other writing is becoming my personal history file. Poetry and stories embodying feelings and emotions transformed into an event! Presented by me. For you. The lonely card player sitting in a corner. Music to singe your soul. At the 2012 Adelaide Fringe. People who have heard me speak have said: _x001C_ Thank you Kate_x001D_ , Ita Buttrose, AO, OBE President, Alzheimer_x0019_ s Australia; _x001C_ Thank you for the most moving talk I have ever experienced!..._x001D_ Chris; _x001C_ ...don_x0019_ t stop sharing your story! Keep on being an inspiration to all._x001D_ Robyn Moore-the power of the word. I use humour to survive this hideous disease, and words to retain my memory. My Unseen Disappearing World is a story about living with dementia, a story of laughter, love, dancing, tragedy, sadness, humour, memory loss, playing cards alone, grief, tears, shock, humiliation, stigma, keeping secrets, daring, engagement and inspiration; hysterical, poignant and life changing. Music to singe your soul. Don_x0019_ t miss this event!
