Abstract

This case study celebrates the contribution of Marian ‘Billy’ Lindkvist’s Movement with Touch and Sound (MTS) to the field of dramatherapy. This unique way of working is explored through the story of Nora – an elderly lady living at the end of life with dementia in a palliative care setting. When words are no longer a way of communication, but rather an obstacle leading to misunderstanding, new ways must be found. Can the ‘preferred language’, suggested by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), be interpreted as a non-verbal way of communication?
