International Conference for Arts in Healthcare in Nashville
Wednesday, 02 May 2007
   I was delighted to accept the invitation to present a paper entitled Bridging The Gap at the International Conference on Arts and Healthcare in Nashville, Tennessee.  My paper explored using storying telling and song to engage individuals and communities who may through circumstance of culture, economic circumstances, history or geography feel disconnected or isolated.  This was used to parallel the individual whose health status can also result in a feeling of isolation and how having their story ratified and giving meaning by having it retold through story and song contributes to both social and emotional health.  I was delighted that my presentation was extremely well received and I look forward to future projects that may result from my visit to Nashville.
