Visiting Time |
|
|
| Visiting Time is an exploration
of the human, experiential and scientific dimensions
of living with the consequences of genetic inheritance.
It is a research and development project which will
investigate how drama and performance can be used
to broaden understanding of genetic inheritance
and the role of biomedical science in the diagnosis
and treatment of genetically inherited disorders.
Secondary school pupils will undertake research
with health professionals and engage in drama activities
with a performance artist, Mark Storor. They will
explore the possibilities of developing performance
in environments such as healthcare buildings, hospitals
or GP surgeries. A public discussion event with
healthcare professionals, patients, educationalists,
artists and students will take place at the end
of the research process in June 2004. |

| Y Touring will commission
four experienced playwrights to write four plays
exploring aspects of the impact of biomedical science
on society, for young people and children to perform.
The playwrights will explore the issues with scientists
and young people in a laboratory day. The plays
will have pilot productions by four London youth
theatres/schools and be published as downloadable
pdfs on the Genetic Futures website. |
