Hospital Activities Programme St Johns, Western General, Royal Infirmary and Royal Edinburgh

January - March 2018

Hospital Activities Programme January - March 2018 Introduction to Programme Working together with artists, staff, patients and families is an important part of our work in Hospitals. It informs all that we do. In this programme we will highlight the benefits of working together, illustrating how sharing ideas and creative skills lifts morale and creates a more positive sense of community.

Š Anne Elliot

Within each hospital we establish social spaces where involvement in cultural activity brings people together around a shared interest in a performance, an exhibition or a workshop. As well as working with Senior Charge Nurses and Occupational Therapists, this work has been further enhanced with the appointment of activity coordinators within some of the hospitals. This enables us to work with key people within each hospital as well as working in spaces within wards.

In November 2017 we exhibited work in ‘Common Play: Making Things Happen’ at the Tent Gallery, Edinburgh College of Art. The exhibition brought together three Artlink mental health programmes – The Glasshouses at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Leylines in West Lothian and Curious Routes in Edinburgh. The exhibition encouraged audiences to take part in a series of drop-in events led by people with mental health problems. It was a real success!

Artlink have commissioned three early career artists to make new work within the context of health and care. Each artist will be mentored by an experienced artist within one of three areas - mental health and community; dementia and high support needs; staff & patients. The results from these commissions will be on show at St Johns, the Western General and the Royal Infirmary from February 2018. There is more information on these commissions in each of the hospital sections.

Laura Cave-Magowan, Wave, mixed media

Staff & Patient Show – Looking for Collaborators Have you shown work in past staff and patient exhibitions? Would you like to help shape how the 2018 staff and patient show looks? Would you like to work with an illustrator? Have you an interest in the history of your hospital?

Laura Cave-Magowan is an illustrator based in East Lothian. She is fascinated by narratives and has been visiting Lothian Health Services Archive to unearth personal and interesting stories from its vast historical collection. Laura has been commissioned to collaborate with staff and patients who have an interest in making artworks to work with her around some of the ideas emerging from her research.

This is a different approach to the annual Open Show and an opportunity for some people to become really involved in the process.

Exchanging Knowledge

Exchanging Knowledge Laura is “very excited by the opportunity to engage with staff and patients, exploring different narratives and discovering a common thread."

As part of this new approach, we will experiment with where we show the work, placing it within spaces that have a relevance to the artworks produced – i.e. we may show work relating to the history of care on wards, work related to historical figures in department offices or even put on community events in public spaces.

So if you like painting, drawing or crafts please get in touch with Grace by emailing grace@artlinkedinburgh.co.uk to contribute to the exhibition which is planned for the end of February 2018.

Send us your Feedback You will notice a change in the layout of this programme; we have tried to reduce the text and make the programme calendar simpler. We would really appreciate feedback on the changes, so any comments or suggestions should be emailed to Trevor at trevor@artlinkedinburgh.co.uk We have really enjoyed working with you all in the past year and would also like to take this opportunity to send best wishes to everyone for a great 2018 from the Artlink team.

We continue to provide opportunities for distraction and entertainment on the wards, made all the easier by the support of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists on Ward 17, Ward 3 and Pentland Court. Over the past two months we have added another element to the programme by placing a dancer on these wards. Feedback has been really positive; the staff have been taken aback at the patients reaction to the workshops, with one staff member commenting, “I have never seen the patients move this much!”

This learning opportunity and mentorship will provide her with a broader understanding of the potential of the arts within mental health communities.

Work resulting from this commission will be shown at St Johns. We are keen to show this work in contexts and situations that are relevant to the people that Nadia will be collaborating with. So, look out for the work in the grounds of the hospital, in community halls or on your ward.

Anthony Schrag & Marcus Oakley

Western General Exhibition

Movement: Amongst Other Things As part of the wider exhibition programme, Amongst Other Things, artist Anthony Schrag has been working with a dedicated group of Occupational Therapists (OTs) at the Western General.

In a series of lunch time workshops, OTs identified that there was a limited understanding of their profession within the hospital as well as more generally. As participant Tracey suggested: “No one would know what an OT does unless they actually needed them.”

© Albie Clark/Grace Johnston

The project started from the idea that movement is a ‘non-conventional way of communication’, and explored how it can be used creatively to express and communicate what an OT does, and who they are. Through drawing, sculpture, photography, choreography and writing, the group identified 5 key movements that they regularly use within their work: measuring, investigating, observing, listening and empowering.

Movement: Amongst Other Things (cont.)

OTs work in partnership with others within the hospital and they wanted to emphasise just how important these relationships are within their work. They identified key departments in WGH with whom they work closely – Physiotherapy, Social Work, The Discharge Hub, Administrative Staff & other OTs – and matched these departments with each of the 5 movements. For example, both OTs and Physiotherapists are required to measure patients’ reactions and responses within their work. They then presented each partner with a particular ‘gift’ relating to these actions.

Exhibition “These workshops have given us a great team-building experience. We’ve been able to laugh at ourselves, admire the artistic and creative sides of each other, and reflect on our profession together, and it’s all resulted in us feeling closer as a team.

This obviously contributes to a much more pleasant working environment, and working together.”

Outcomes arising from these workshops are now on show in the Western General Gallery. Choreographer Christina Liddell took each of these actions and developed them into a dance, and illustrator Marcus Oakley took inspiration from original sketches of the actions made by the OT’s. The work will be on exhibition over the coming months.

In addition, please see the programme calendar at the end of this section for a list of events, workshops and performances in the Western General.

Royal Infirmary

Royal Infirmary It has been great working with the newly-appointed Activity Coordinator Carey Moss at the Royal Infirmary. There is now a designated activity space which we use on a regular basis, leading singing and reminiscing sessions with patients from the wards. Support from the activity coordinator as well as use of this new space has resulted in higher uptake, meaning that even more patients are benefitting from involvement in activities.

Artist James McLardy will also be working on ward 201 in the new year. Over the past few years, James has been working on dementia wards at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital developing some pretty exciting collaborative practices with family, patients and staff. His plan is to extend this work to wards on the NRI, with support from the new activities coordinator.

We have also established a mentored commission for early career artist Hannah Imlach. Hannah is a visual artist based in Glasgow who creates sculptures inspired by environmental research. She will work alongside James McLardy on wards and with artists who create sensory based work with people with high support needs. We asked Hannah what her expectations were and she responded, “I am struck by the simultaneous sensitivity and boldness of each artist’s approach, all are unified by a responsiveness to the language, gesture and experiences of each individual they work with.

In relation to my own practice, I am particularly interested in learning about projects where the artist uses creative processes as a catalyst for building relationships, generating mutual learning and promoting self-expression."

In January we begin a project with youth group Mix Up Theatre in Edinburgh. Miss Annabel Sings and performance artist Caitlyn MacFarlane will be gathering stories from the dance hall days in our first collaboration with the theatre group. These stories will inspire short performances that will be shared at the Royal Edinburgh hospital in the spring of 2018.

Working with seasonal themes, patients were encouraged to paint autumn leaves, create Halloween decorations from coloured paper and create hanging decorations from clay for the ward. Miss Annabel Sings has also delivered a programme of performative events which have gone down really well. Going forward into 2018 Artlink plan to continue having a conversation with staff at Prospect Bank about the work that has happened to date and what might happen in future.
