Clinicians and Educators Working Together to Support Performing Arts Health
Event Information
Description
Health support for performing artists and creative practitioners is an increasingly high profile field and throughout the arts industry, people are asking what services are required and how best to deliver them.
It is clear that integrating educational and clinical approaches is vital to sustainable health and wellbeing in this community, as is ensuring safe and effective practice while making the most of the potential benefits.
BAPAM is a clinically-led performing arts health organisation at the forefront of this work. We coordinate a UK-wide programme of healthy performance workshops designed to teach arts professionals skills for health and creative excellence. And in our free clinics, specialist diagnostic and medical expertise is often complemented by performance technique, lifestyle and health-related guidance.
Our November 2019 Training Day explores multidisciplinary approaches to performing arts health in a variety of contexts, and is a key learning opportunity for healthcare, education and arts professionals.
