Insight Colab Theatre presents 4000 Miles

INSIGHT COLAB THEATREpresents4000 MilesbyAmy HerzogDirected by Samantha Saunders July 25 August 4, 2024 Insight Colab Theatre presents 4000 Miles July 25 through August 4, at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80010. Performances are Thursday, July 25; Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.   Tickets are $25 - $35 and available at https://insightcolab.square.site/. Student discount information on the site. For more information call 303-437-8917. After suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, a 21-year-old grandson seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandfather in his West Village apartment. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other. 4000 Miles looks at how two outsiders find their way in today's world. Director Samantha Saunders states, The all-Asian casting stays in line with our mission of giving opportunities to an under represented demographic and it aligns with the roots of the theatre company. We wanted to explore nontraditional casting for the play and the grandfather/grandson relationship will still discover the generational struggles the play dives into. She went on to say, This play is still different in the sense that it explores the struggle of the old world and the new world coming together and how that can be overcome. I dont believe it is the gender of the family member that is important in this casting but rather the colliding of different life experiences and coming together as a family despite those differences. Amy Herzogs 4000 Miles won the 2012 Obie Award for Best New American Play and was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Her play Mary Jane, won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. She was a finalist for the 20122013 and 20162017 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Herzog was also nominated for a 2023 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play for her adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House. Newly rebranded, Insight Colab Theatre was previously known as Theatre Esprit Asia (TEA). TEA, founded in 2012, was Southwest Denvers first and only pan Asian American theatre company. Insight Colab Theatre features plays with non-traditional, diverse casting while creating acting workshops to train the new generation of diverse actors along with a writers series to explore identity, race and privilege. https://www.insightcolab.org Insight Colab Theatre4000 MilesA compassionate story of family, love and healing.July 25 Aug 4Thurs., July 25 @ 7:30 p.m.Fri/Sat at 7:30 p.m. and Sat/Sun at 2:00 p.m.$25 - $35https://www.insightcolab.orgFor more information call 303-437-8917.Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80010

Safer Sharps

Needlesticks are a common occurrence for Health Care Workers (HCW) and it is estimated that upwards of 800,000 injuries occur per year in the United States. Of these, many go unreported. While needlestick injuries have the potential to transmit bacteria, protozoa, viruses and more; the risk of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are the highest. As a care provider, the risk can be as high as 10% for hepatitis C alone. Luckily, there are ways we can keep our caregivers safe, when providing care, that puts them at risk of contracting blood borne pathogens.Century Park is committed to safeguard our residents and associates by the continued education of our Safety with Sharps program. Upon hire, and annually thereafter, our caregivers are all assigned a course that demonstrates the use of approved safer sharps equipment. By participating in our Safety with Sharps program we can reduce the risk of our Century Park family facing uncertainty surrounding their infection status during the initial stages of the injury and facing the life changing consequences if they develop a disease. This understandably severe emotional and mental trauma can be avoided by taking the necessary steps to prevent needlesticks. Please do your part by using and providing Century Park approved safer medical devices & sharps containers. Approved devices include those that are needleless or have built-in protection to guard associates from exposure to contaminated sharps.Thank you for partnering with us in our commitment to protect our Century Park family. Together, we can continue our commitment to create a climate where people feel valued and where residents and associates thrive. Safety of our residents and associates is and will remain our top priority.

7 Great One-on-One Activities to do with Someone with Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia

Keeping individuals with Alzheimer's Disease active stimulates their brain, brings forth moments of joy and promotes a sense of usefulness.Here are some great activities that encourage social engagement and promote self-esteem:Make use of skills that are not forgotten.From buttering bread, to drying dishes, to raking the garden, simple jobs are great for engaging someone with dementia and providing them with a sense of accomplishment and contribution.Take the person on a small trip.Even if he wont remember where he has been, the experience in the moment is what is important. But be selective about your outings and try to avoid crowded places, or having an agenda (like getting the grocery shopping done), as it may be too overwhelming.Go through old photo albums.Help them recall treasured moments from the past. Or if they are at a point in their dementia where they are unable to remember, use the photos as a starting point to tell wonderful stories. Ask them what they think is happening in the picture, rather than what they remember.Play a game or activity the person has always enjoyed.A bridge player may no longer be able to play, but may enjoy holding the cards and a simpler game like matching the suit, color or number.Garden together.If she is unable to help you, bring her outside and sit her next to you as you garden. Letting her enjoy the sunshine and look at the flowers as you garden can prove very comforting.Play sorting games.Try sorting objects like buttons or swatches of fabric by color, shape and design.Go on a walk.Exercise stimulates the brain, body and soul in all of us. No matter where they are in their disease, some form of exercise will be beneficial (for you and them!)Things for caregivers to keep in mind:Break activities down into one step at a time. For instance, fold the napkins and put them away should be delivered as fold the napkins. Then, when they are done folding, you can ask them to put them in the drawer. Dont get stuck on the rules or things being done the right way. The objective is to make the person feel involved and successful. Stay in the moment, use encouraging comments and realistic praises.And remember, it is our duty (and honor), as a caregiver, to help them achieve that sense of enjoyment and purpose, if even just for a moment.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Dana Jessup, CSA, CADDCT, CDPDana Jessup is the owner of Friends For Life, Inc. and may be reached at 303-321-2822 or byemail at dana@friendsforlifeinc.com
