Who cares? Improving the quality of healthcare through theatre.

In collaboration with the Mombasa-based performing arts company Jukwaa Arts Productions, Zoë is currently engaged in a project that asks: how might theatre help us find solutions to enduring challenges in the health sector?
We use participatory theatre performances and creative workshops to explore experiences of care and carelessness in medical settings along the Kenyan coast.
Our vision is to use theatre to create a sustained platform for dialogue and action in the health sector, contributing to better health for all.
Our shows bring together healthcare professionals and ordinary people, and create space for audiences to put forward concrete policy proposals.
Community-generated suggestions will be presented to health decision-makers each year, with the goal of fostering practical and implementable improvements in health outcomes and service delivery.
This project is funded by UKRI’s Arts and Humanities Research Council and King’s College London.
