i'm initiating a new direction for this blog--i want to discover and assemble programs and individuals that are acting in a transformative arts capacity in the world.
today, when googling, i tripped into this team of folks bringing art to health centers in manchester. this is a model for what can be done in health care environments. this is a model for adding art to the mix of physical health centers and traditional medicine--and it makes a huge impact on healing.
it's interesting to think about what a visit to the art doctor--different from a visit to the art therapist--might make possible in the world of healing.
i love discovering that there are models for this new kind of integrative behavior inside health care settings. do visit their site and post your comments on what you think of them.
transformative arts is a special brand of arts education that is process oriented, affected by how a space is held, allowing the individual engaging with the art materials to find their own wisdom that comes through the act of making. we learned our brand of transformative art from the teachers and students assembled at JFKU in the Berkeley Arts Annex. we're interested in sharing the magic.
