@MissChisomo listening and taking to heart esp point to 'redirect the gaze'

6) this field of studies did not begin in 2020. It started as soon as people in the global south began organising to counter the ideologies & oppressors who sought to enforce power and seize land. As a practice it is hundreds of years old, as an academic discipline it is younger.

I want to have a heart to heart talk with Global North scholars about decolonial research. 1). Connect to what is being written in global south, Indigenous scholarship especially within settler colonies first. This is where the ideas began & where it keeps re-emerging.

Brilliant article by @a_mermi on the role of the performing arts in supporting the mental health and resilience of health care professionals. Something @perform4care and others have been working on for some time and that COVID-19 only made more apparent. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Nursing students whose learning has been altered because of COVID-19 response arrangements and social distancing measures can now have access to arts-based learning resources. Find out more here: performanceforcare.com/covid-19-resou…

@perform4care @KarlTizzard Your phd is about theatre and nursing so it's research not distraction.

Thank you @KarlTizzard such kind words!

@perform4care @KarlTizzard Yes I've met the wonderful Alison Jeffers

Thanks so much @KarlTizzard - it's been a labour of love for us! Do you mean Alison Reeves?

@perform4care #PerformanceForCare There are more videos of Cracks, Careful and Choreography of the Handover in the Showcase section if you'd like to know more.

#performanceforcare @JohnMcArts @perform4care as you suggest it's important to recognize why healthcare professionals might 'lack' empathy and resilience - including the sort of working conditions outlines by Anne Laure Humbert

#Performanceforcare our presenters prepared these presentations in less than a week - we are so grateful for the effort

one of the Careful performers describes what it's like making theatre for nurses @performanceforcare youtu.be/SNOJmklfRfk via @YouTube

@mollycasespeaks Professor Pam Smith references this wonderful book by a nurse/performance poet

@perform4care is it the role of artists' to train and support healthcare workers? With a better resourced health service, perhaps this sort of project wouldn't happen

#performanceforcare @perform4care nurses are 'the best among us' and we still abandon them
