For
hospitalised children, empowering and engaging with them through
performing arts.
The Clown Doctor programme places artists in healthcare settings
to offer an impartial way of entertaining, supporting and empowering
children who may be struggling with issues of fear, boredom,
confusion and other insecurities.
Clown Round is a pilot programme, using two female clowns, which
Artlink will deliver at James Paget Hospital, Gorleston,in partnership
with the James Paget University Hospital Trust. The pilot will
run for a total of 26 weeks on Wednesday mornings from 3rd
September to mid January 2009.
The programme is funded by Children in Need. It will be robustly
evaluated and will hopefully be rolled out to other hospitals.
