This book explores applied theatre practice for children in
environments of illness and cure and how it can powerfully
normalise children's hospitalisation experience. It is an essential
tool for making meaning of children's illness, putting it into a
fictional context and developing better control of their clinical
experiences. It can be central to raising the standards of care and
quality of life during illness. Taken from the author's research
and participatory bedside theatre practice in hospitals before,
during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, this book demonstrates new
learning about aesthetics, ethics, emotions, stories, puppetry,
digital arts and research methodologies about children's health and
wellbeing. It provides a selection of ten unique stories told by
children inspired by applied theatre practice in paediatrics,
cardiac, oncology, neurosurgery, burns units and complex and
intensive care wards. Stories aid in understanding the language of
children's pain for a better assessment and management of pain by
healthcare professionals through the arts. It analyses synergistic
theatre performance in 'stitched lands' between challenging
realities and safe fictionalities. This book enables artists to
develop new ways of thinking and contributes to further
improvements in the provision of education and reflective learning
in the field. It also addresses the emotional labour of the artist
in healthcare and makes recommendations for balanced training to
prevent emotional exhaustion. Designed for artists, healthcare
professionals, therapists, play specialists and teachers who work
with children in healthcare, this text aims to help many people
find creative ways of making a positive difference in sick
children's lives. It is a book for those who love and care for
children.
