Performing Medicine is a programme of courses,
workshops and events which use the arts to provide training to medical
students and practising health professionals. The project is led by the
Clod Ensemble in association with the School of English and Drama and
Barts and The London, School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University
of London.
Courses and workshops for medical students are delivered across Barts
and The London, King’s and Imperial Colleges.
We offer artist led, practical based programmes which aim to raise the profile of the benefits arts can bring to medicine and healthcare as well as establishing arts as a key teaching methodology in medical training.
A wide range of cutting edge contemporary artists and thinkers deliver our courses, working in a range of art forms from theatre to dance to photography, including Bobby Baker, Split Britches, John Wright, Deborah Padfield, Rosetta Life, Dominc Johnson and Barbara Housemann.
