Dancing with ageing, illness and loss through dialogic artistic research

Beatrice Allegranti and Emilyn Claid

Ageing, illness and loss can be a scary and isolating time. Through published texts, workshops, talks and choreographic events, Dr Beatrice Allegranti and Professor Emilyn Claid have enhanced and improved the psychological, cognitive and physical wellbeing of individuals experiencing ageing, illness and loss, through dance. Their work has also prompted major healthcare and cultural organisations across south east England to embed dance interventions in their methods and shaped the practice of dance artists and health professionals. .
