“…We have been acutely aware that there is a growth of arts-based projects in health in the UK since the 1990s. These have occurred as a result of collaborations between community artists and health organisations with support from the government (Arts Council of England, 2004;Brodzinski, 2010;London Arts in Health Forum, 2012;Sextou, 2011;Staricoff, 2006).

This article reports on practice-based pilot research being undertaken at Birmingham Children's Hospital in England on the impact of bedside theatre performance on hospitalised children's well-being. It discusses the process of creating theatre for sick children, connecting with the hospital and working within the hospital tight routines, dealing with ethics, working with theatre artists and performing to children bedside. It also reports on evidence collected by questionnaire and interviews about the perceived benefits of bedside theatre by children and their parent/carers. This emphasis on the process is appropriate for theatre practitioners, arts therapists and clinical staff who work with hospitalised children.

“…Em outras palavras, o teatro surge como um mecanismo de estímulo à interação social, a qual é um elemento identificador do existir enquanto pessoa. Por isso, reconhecer as dimensões estéticas do teatro enquanto arte em projetos de saúde amplia as potencialidades do trabalho, transformando uma transação meramente funcional em um encontro criativo [3].…”

O Mundo é um Palco: Experiência de Oficinas de teatro na Saúde Mental 74 project. The reading of the results arising from the exploration of group facilitators experience, associated with material obtained from post-activity discussions resulted in three categories: "When the curtain rises: the group"; "The staging of me and us"; and "The backstage". It was verified that, by stimulating different general skills, such as creativity, attention, orientation, memory, reasoning, reflection, sensitivity, vocal and body expression, setting up elements for a more contextualized professional-patient relationship. In addition, through the participants perception, it was possible to arise meanings, emotions, experience exchanges and stimulate cognitive behavioral development and social skills of each participant, whose experiences were unveiled as a reference for daily situations. It was noticed that the theater is a social change tool, so it is considered important to use it more frequently in clinical and therapeutic environments, as well as to stimulate the interest of more health researchers to conduct approaches on the impacts of Art in these contexts.

“…Even when we create art from an intertextual play of other artistic elements and borrowings, we nevertheless take in and bring out impulses that are part of our lives, our social and cultural understanding. In this way the aesthetic experience belongs to a hermeneutical cycle including life and art work (Rasmussen & Gürgens, 2006, p.237).This multifaceted connection between the social and aesthetic drama in life and art is a well-documented process in the theatre anthropology and performance theories of Victor Turner and Richard Schechner (Schechner, 1985;Brodzinski, 2010). …”

Abstract:In this article, the researcher studies how it is possible to develop a reminiscence theatre production in an age-exchange project, created with life stories from pensioners, and how the audience experiences the performance. The article is based on six focus group interviews with nine pensioners, a theatre production and a "reminiscence café" between the audience and the actors, arranged after the performance. The researcher designed the study, "The aged as a resource", based on guidelines for performance ethnography, art-based research, practice-led research and artistic research, in order to combine science and art, which could be said to represent two different epistemological traditions. Løgstrup encourages us to view phenomena in the world as compatible contrasts, which gently converge towards a meeting point, and it is precisely this meeting between art and science that this article addresses (Løgstrup, 1961). Keywords Four generations on the stage -an age-exchange journey is about to begin. Research QuestionIn this article the researcher studies the following research question: How it is possible to develop a reminiscence theatre production in an age-exchange project, created with life stories from pensioners, and how does the audience experience the performance? This article is based on six focus group interviews with nine pensioners, a theatre production and a "reminiscence café" between the audience and the actors arranged after the performance, all part of the research study "The aged as a resource" . The researcher designed the study using guidelines based on performance ethnography, art-based research, practice-led research and artistic research (Denzin, 1997(Denzin, , 2003McNiff, 2009;Haseman, 2006;Haseman & Mafe, 2009 BackgroundThe background for the project 'The aged as a resource" was the desire to do something about the way society views the aged today. The research project was commenced with the wish to contribute to the creation of new knowledge about pensioners' thoughts about the lives they lived, but also to test out the use of reminiscence theatre in Norway.The British professor of drama and theatre, Helen Nicholson, claims that applied theatre projects often aim, "to benefit individuals, communities and societies" (Nicholson, 2005, p. 2). Reminiscence theatre is a part of the so-called applied theatre sphere, the intention being to create theatre out of the bounds of mainstream theatre institutions in non-traditional settings, generally with one or another type of marginalized social group (Prendergast & Saxton, 2009). Many pensioners gradually begin to feel marginalized, standing on the periphery of society, since the demand for efficiency and earning power are so central to today's values. This is not a uniquely Norwegian phenomenon. 3 The World Health Organization (WHO) has a global focus working against ageism, as they wish to contribute to a preventative public-health-focused consciousness concerning the aged as a resource in local society. 4Being "aged" is often referred...
