Kiss My Echo by The Clod Ensemble, 2001.
“I have always felt that I don’t have ‘presence’ in the same way that doctors do. I’ve never realised it was something you can learn, that one session has helped a great deal.”
We programme workshops, events and seminars across three
of London's most prestigious medical schools (Barts and The London, Queen
Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of London, King's
College and Imperial College).
Performing Medicine accesses the medical curriculum in several ways -
offering an intensive Selective Study Module called
The Art of Medicine and Healthcare, as well as designing arts workshops
to be integrated into existing clinically based selected study modules
(e.g. Anatomy, Dentistry or Palliative Care) and the core curriculum.
We also offer courses to practising health professionals. Most recently
running a series of Expressive Body workshops
at Guy's and St. Thomas Hospital.
