Theatre Nemo

Theatre Nemo

The artistic medium we have found works best in hospitals is animation. This process uses a broad range of art forms such as storytelling, visual arts, building scale sets, making characters, animating the characters and finally finding a voice for your character. This means that there is something to engage everyone. Creating an animation also requires people to develop their communication skills, team work, problem solving, commitment to attend the sessions and a lot of patience which can be a real challenge for people in psychiatric hospitals.

If an individual who has suffered a brain injury has support to adjust with their life change then they are likely to respond to rehabilitation interventions more positively and show better outcomes from such interventions. There is also a small number of studies showing that good family adjustment after a member has suffered a brain injury results in lower stress and anxiety for the carers in that family unit.
