Developing pre & post-program surveys to provide factual data on the efficacy of theatre skills for seniors. The use of performance arts in health is relatively new and we are seeking to show that it is not only beneficial for individuals but also for institutions concerned with the well-being of seniors.

To maximise benefit, we also wish the performance skills taught to be coherent with current medical knowledge. So we would like to provide data which will be useful to researchers, students and organisations in the area of healthy ageing in particular and potentially also theatre performance.
