Thanks @sa_busch !

[Sarah Busch @sa_busch]

Reading "Performing Care" ed. @AmandaStuartFis & @JamesThomp, care is defined as "resistance to the ‘care-lessness’ of contemporary life" (3), which rings so true. Grandparents ageing and my mother's job as a caretaker have taught me a lot of what I want theatre to do for others.

Great presentation on. @CareAesths from Kate & Réka!

[Dr Kat Algar-Skaife @Kat_Algar]

Fascinating presentation about @CareAesths project. Not an arts in care homes project but valuing the art within everyday practice in care.
