Arts for Health artist Sharon Dipity recently published a case study with ArtsandHealth.ie detailing her project Bridging the Imagination. Supported by an Arts Council Agility Award, Sharon collaborated with a group of older people in Skibbereen Community Hospital to explore task-based performance art around the theme of bridges.
Sharon received mentoring support from Dr. Katja Hilevaara, Department of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and from Sarah Cairns, a dementia care specialist. Project support was provided by Sandya Zachariah, CNM2 at Skibbereen Community Hospital, and Justine Foster from Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre.
You can read the case study in full here. It’s an informative and insightful read, and a wonderful opportunity to hear about Sharon’s work in more detail.
