THE last of an innovative programme of public events which explore the issues relating to arts and health is coming to the Wales Millennium Centre.

Following on from the Anatomy Season in Cardiff, 2013, Clod Ensemble’s Performing Medicine Season 2015 is a series of workshops and talks that provide an opportunity to examine our expectations of the healthcare profession, to share responsibility for its evolution, and to enrich the ways in which we think about and experience our own bodies.

The next event in the series is called Music and Dementia with Kate Woolveridge on May 7.

This will be an introduction to the work of the Forget Me Not chorus, a charity that supports people with dementia and their families through weekly singing and creative workshops. As part of the evening you will take part in a short session which demonstrates how participants of the chorus are engaged.
