The promise and pain of devising as deliberative democracy
Out Of Character Theatre Company's Fresh Visions project pursued an innovative theatre-based research methodology which enabled sustained, in-depth, polyphonic and dialogic engagement around the future shape of local mental health services. Since our previous research (Heinemeyer, Catherine and Nick Rowe. 2019. ‘Being Known, Branching Out: Troupes, Teams and Recovery.’ Mental Health Review Journal 24(3): 212-227) indicated that theatre devising c…
'Wow, it's at the University'! Experiences of people with mental illness of an educational arts programme
This study gathered the experiences and perceptions of participants of a university-based programme of free arts education for people who use mental health services, known as Converge. A total of 70 per cent of the authors have lived experience of mental health difficulties and attend Converge courses. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was taken, using Photo Elicitation to facilitate interviews with relatively new Converge participan…
A return to ordinariness
This article reports on the experiences of a group of five undergraduate theatre students working alongside people who use mental health services. Our aim was to study any changes in students’ attitudes over the period when they were making theatre with people with mental health problems. At first students were keen to define ‘mental illness’ and to draw clear lines between people who had or did not have mental health problems. They were likely t…
Forgetting the machine
Patients on hospital haemodialysis spend many hours a week away from their home, undergoing a treatment that is time consuming and physically and mentally draining. Given the often unpleasant experience of dialysis, it is not surprising that art has been one of the possible interventions employed. This study investigates an art project led by a professional artist at the renal dialysis unit at York Hospital. Twelve patients involved in the projec…
International Comparisons of Sports participation in European Countries
This paper looks back to an international comparative study of sports participation in seven European countries that was carried out in the late 1990s, COMPASS 1999. The original COMPASS study used data from the 1995-1997 period. This paper reviews the COMPASS framework and results, considers what new evidence is available to update the original COMPASS results, and considers what changes would be needed to the COMPASS approach if a new comparati…
Border crossings
This article describes and analyses a project developed at York St John University that offers courses to mental health service users taught by students and their tutors. A model is suggested that provides a means through which people who have used mental health services can access higher education (HE) experience that is both flexible and supportive. The project is a collaboration between the university and local mental health service providers.…
Beyond dramatic truth
Recorded footage of counselling sessions with real clients can be a valuable educational resource that gives training counsellors the opportunity to analyse the theories and practices they encounter in their education. However, the use of such material raises complex ethical issues: what are the safeguards against the misuse of the material? Can the client realistically anticipate the impact of the recording and dissemination of their session? Wh…
The Drama of Doing
In this reflective discussion of Playback Theatre, parallels are drawn between occupation and drama, as a thing that is done, an embodied performance. Playback is considered from the perspectives of both performers, who respond to the teller's autobiographical narrative and the audience, who witness the performers’ and the teller's response. The moment of enactment of the story is presented as a kind of threshold, where the performers are in the …
