Theatre arts offer a wide scope for expressive and therapeutic needs in such contexts. This article examines the value of embodied practices to support non-verbal interactions for older participants. It presents examples of the handbased activities we used and discusses the way these were drawn on to design the art-based methodology for the Creative Ageing Opening Spaces research project in Melbourne, Australia. Participant experiences are discussed and recommendations are made for art-led design processes, which value non-linguistic sensory practices as genuinely meaningful for creating uplifting care opportunities for older people.
