Abstract
Research, public policy, and practice of the use of the creative arts for health promotion has expanded internationally during the past two decades. This showcase will report on the outcomes of a theater-in-health pilot project and demonstrate some of the drama activities used. The project, scheduled for the winter of 2020, explored quality of life outcomes for participants via pre and post surveys. Some of the activities include: acting exercises to explore place, relationship and desire, action and obstacles in acting scenarios, the art of the warm-up and cool down, audience/communication skills, and creative approaches to self-expression.
