Arts for the Blues: Creating Connections will be an immersive performance co-produced by artists and mental health service users that will highlight the healing potential of creativity and offer opportunities for human connection.
We ask for £29,954 to involve 6 artists, 2 arts facilitators and 8 mental health service users in co-designing an immersive performance of their shared experience of attending a creative group that is cognisant of their creativity and mental health. Using creative technologies, the project will involve at least 50 student volunteers and reach over 1300 people (live and online). It will encourage audiences to interact with the material presented and performed, generating new material that is incorporated into an evolving piece that will make references to their creative group journey, raise awareness of the healing potential of creativity and create diverse opportunities for human connection.
