This has resulted in the publication of a peer-reviewed scientific paper, written alongside with Professor Ian Williams, which you can read here.

Creative Health is central to the company's practice and Stories in the Dust create performances especially adapted for healthcare settings, bringing live theatre directly to patients, staff and their families.
