This is a collaborative project between the University of Bristol and the theatre company Crowded Room (http://www.crowdedroom.org.uk/), which uses creativity and storytelling to explore themes of mortality, grief, loss and the imagination. It will have two outputs:
1) THE COLOURS OF LOSS: a co-created audio storytelling series developed in partnership with academics at the University of Bristol & co-created with ordinary people with experiences of illness, death and grief. The trial of this project will be robustly evaluated to support its future life in arts, wellbeing & health initiatives.
2) The redevelopment of Crowded Room's 4* (The Stage) verbatim jukebox musical THE COLOURS for audio. It will be released digitally via arts partners The Lowry, Theatre Clwyd, CAST, Northern Stage & palliative care/health partners. The works will also premiere on The Good Grief Festival (https://goodgrieffest.com/ ).
