DescriptionStroke and Brain Odysseys and the rise of arts and health practices in the UK – Celebrating 10 years of a community practice In 2015 Rosetta Life, the arts-in-health innovation charity that I lead, was commissioned by Guys and St Thomas’ Charity to co-design, co-produce and implement an interdisciplinary arts intervention combining movement, song making and song with South London stroke communities that would help reduce the anxiety and depression experienced by those living with the effects of a stroke by making an effective and measurable impact on their recovery. The practice that emerged from this research we named Stroke and Brain Odysseys, partly in tribute to the struggle that people have to make to get back home after a stroke, and partly in simple tribute to the journeys we make between islands of cognition, movement, language, music and image to recover our functioning. I will look at the practices of co-design, co-production and co-creation and at the ethics and complexities of introducing co-design and co-creation in healthcare. Continued under "More Info" Tab

More InformationThis talk looks at the emergence and rapid rise of arts and health practices and where Stroke and Brain Odysseys situates itself between arts therapies, arts practices, social prescribing, applied theatre and community arts.
I will illustrate this by drawing on over 100 videos co- produced with communities of people living with brain injury: the videos are of workshops, performances and seminars that have been produced over the past ten years. I will select key videos that illustrate defining moments in the development of the practice and define its place in a growing complex web of arts and health.
Lucinda Jarrett is artistic director of Rosetta Life, where she currently leads Stroke and Brain Odysseys, a well evidenced co-creation performance arts programme for recovery from brain injury. Brain Odysseys now boasts a new performance company of 20 emerging artists, ambassadors from our programme, who advocate for independent living after the trauma of stroke through performance arts.
Lucinda also leads Place4Hope, a global community of youth leaders from 20 countries across the globe, using the digital and immersive arts to advocate for climate change through co-creation and co-production practices.
She founded Rosetta Life in 1997 in partnership with a movement therapist to explore ways of linking movement and storytelling and the creative arts residency programme grew to reach over forty hospices over the period of ten years. In 2007 she founded The Songrooms, combining movement, music and songwriting in an online project that linked ten children’s hospices across Africa and England. Three year funding from the Cultural Olympiad in 2009 enabled Lucinda to work with a group of dancers to conduct a clinical audit of movement practices in a range of contexts across end of life care and she has held a residency at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery since 2012.
She is a Clore Cultural Leadership Fellow, a Churchill Fellow, a Common Purpose scholar and a Fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs. She is an honorary senior researcher at UCL and has published widely on creative engagement with health care, shared her practice abroad and has led projects in America, Brazil, South Africa and Thailand.
