With generous support from The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and in partnership with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, UCSF Memory and Aging Center, and the Global Brain Health Institute, Jake Broder, James Bonas, and Cath Brittan present UnRavelled, the story of Dr. Anne Adams and her obsession with Ravel’s Bolero. How she, through her diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), developed as a painter and became a remarkable artist. Through her story the play also uncovers the mystery of Ravel’s similar diagnosis almost 100 years earlier.
This will be a live multimedia event marrying theater, live music, visual art and science. It will include a panel featuring Jake Broder, Bruce Miller, Virginia Sturm (UCSF/GBHI), Susan Dickinson (Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration), and Lucy Davenport (UnRavelled), moderated by Emily Silverman (UCSF/The Nocturnists).
