ELaTIon Performance series 2018-19
Funded by BBC Children in Need and Arts Council England, this series of improvised performances took place biannually in summer and winter. We toured the Renal Dialysis, Cardiac, mixed surgical Neuromedical, Neurosurgical and Oncology Units over 6 days offering bespoke performances for individuals and small groups.
Twin Vision media captured our final series in November 2019.
Feedback from a parent of long term patient, "It was lovely, you all gave us the chance once more to enjoy moments with our daughter. Having been in this building for a long time you help us to remember that it's possible to smile, play and share with everyone our feelings. And this is possible because of all of you! Gracias!"
Staff feedback, "Fabulous! My patient really enjoyed it, her heart rate decreased whilst the dancers performed to music."
"Very moving, lovely dancing. My daughter was in a trance!"
"The music and dance turned a hospital visit into a really happy time. We all enjoyed it-a great experience!"
Performers: Georgina Aasgaard (Cello), Lisa Dowler (dance), Louise Gibbons (dance), Sam Hickey (dance), Henry Horrell (violin)
