Stroke Odysseys (360G-Wellcome-210998_Z_18_Z)

£75,000

Stroke Odysseys is a production and tour of a dance theatre work and national education programme that engages the public with a discussion about neural plasticity, the creative process and stroke recovery. The performance will feature talented professional artists including composer Orlando Gough, filmmaker Magali Charrier, choreographer and director Ben Duke, librettists Chris Rawlence and Lucinda Jarrett working alongside people living with the effects of a stroke. The project is supported by neuroscientists including Professor Alex Leff and Dr Nick Ward (UCLH) and Dr Phil Clatworthy (Univ Bristol). It is designed to engage a wide range of constituencies in a debate about the role of creativity in stroke recovery including: those who have had a stroke and their families; health professionals; neuro-scientists interested in the relationship betweenneuroplasticity, the creative process and neurological recovery; artists and researchers. This funding will build on three years of practice research; we will expand the current vision of local community performance to a national touring production which with the accompanying education programme will contribute to the wider debate about the role of creativity and plasticity in neurological recovery.
