How Does Participation Affect Health And Wellbeing?

I now realise that the Arts, including music, creates opportunities to engage, inspire and enrich our lives. Music making and responding can challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge and understanding of ourselves, our communities and the world.

I’ve adored theatre for as long as I can remember. From writing plays throughout elementary school, to being involved in Drama Club in middle school, to performing in community theatre in high school, and to visiting the theatre as often as I could from the very beginning, theatre has always been a part of my life. Every aspect of it engages me: the directors working to bring their vision of the show’s scenes, choreography, or music to life, the actors transforming into different characters through their expression of dialogue, song, or dance, the costumers and set-builders transporting the audience into the setting and time period with their artistry, the backstage tech and crew working quickly and precisely to keep the show flowing to curtain call, and the orchestra bringing the show to life through music. There is nothing like the experience of live theatre, both as a member of the audience and as a member of the cast and crew.

My life would be incomplete without performing music. I’ve spent time, in concert bands, in bell choirs, in school and church choirs, and singing, playing in music festivals, and in pit bands trying not to laugh my head off at the actors’ improvisations. But the art that truly speaks to my soul does not lie in creating music, it lies in dancing to it.

During childhood our body and mind changes very fast. I believe that nowadays parents focus more on the brain developement of their children than their physical activity. When I was a little girl - over 20 years ago - we spent most of our time outside playing, running and enjoying fresh air and being in movement. Physical activity of children can secure them health and well being in their adulthood as well as teach them a lot of very importants aspects like social relations and behaviors in different situations.

How can we ensure that therapeutic practice does not escape the scrutiny with which we investigate other social institutions? Intersectionality theory offers an opportunity to respond to these questions in way that allows for a reframing of the approach to cultural competency in way which provides an avenue to more libratory practice.

According to Hallam and Creech ??? little attention has been paid to the possible impact of participation in music in the lives of older people therefore an opportunity exists for community music making to create a significant contribution to the quality of life for the older generation. There are now many organisations that allow healthy older people to actively engage in music such as The Sage Gateshead and Guildhall. Although active engagement in music has a lot of benefits for healthy older people which can be seen in studies by Clift et al (2007) and Stacey et al (2002), there are still emotional, physical and financial barriers that occur and it is up to organisations to help older people overcome these barriers to enable them to successfully participate in

This aim of the assignment is to analyse the case study (Appendix 1) by integrating three main themes; Interprofessional teamwork, culture and diversity and social policy. Throughout, I will be developing a greater understanding of culture and diversity which is essential in order to provide culturally competence care to a diverse population. Furthermore, I will have a detailed knowledge on the value of Interprofessional team working within the health settings and its benefits on individual. Later, I will apply this knowledge on character ‘Amelia’ who is my main focus from case study. I will be using relevant literatures as an evidence and analyse current policies including legislations and guidance in relation to issues which Amelia and her family will be facing.

Although this source does not only talk about performing arts programs, it does mention some key logos information, such as how the athletes felt after taking the clinical educational program, and how they benefited from it. In this article athletes had to go through a clinical educational program in the arts and learn how the arts could help them in the athletic field. This source also, discussed the similarities between athletes and performers, which could be extremely useful in trying to reach a diverse audience, and overall it helps support my claims.This source is beneficial for many different reasons, but it really helps improve my overall logos. Also, my ethos because it provides first hand knowledge to the benefits of the

A discourse community is a group of people with similar ideologies, goals, life experiences and ways of communicating. A lot of us have been in a discourse community without even knowing it. They are so easy to be a part of, you are practically born into one, for your family has a culture and background, which fits the definition of a discourse community. I am actually a part of a few communities myself, and you probably are too. Some examples of mine are my family, being a UTA student, Italian, a woman and a part of UTA’s musical theater program. Which brings me to the most important community I have been a part of, so far in my life, Colleyville Heritage High schools theater department, I am no longer a part of it, but in the short four years I was, my life has changed for the better. In my paper, I will talk to you about my time at Colleyville Heritage High School theater department, and how the community gave me a sense of belonging, taught me how to persevere, by means of loving art and preforming. This will be backed by ethos, logos and pathos, for I have experienced all the emotions of joining a new group, along with the four years of taking acting, and singing lessons and doing shows, paired with real life events to prove everything in this paper is one hundred percent real.

The current health system can be improved to further cater for Australian Aboriginals needs. When at a healthcare facility an Australian aboriginal should feel as if not only their physical well-being is being recognized but also there social, emotional and cultural well-being. Healthcare services should aim to provide the same quality of care to their indigenous patients and assist in giving them the best opportunities in life. I believe one way this can be done is through implementing health strategy’s that benefit the indigenous people. Throughout this essay the implementation of cultural competency training will be developed followed by my own reflections on how I would use this to aid my practice and how implementing this health strategy

The 2013’s Americans for the Arts policy roundtable program let the panels from different backgrounds got together and discussed about what arts should focus on this year, and the topic they came out was “Arts and Healing: Mind, Body and Community ” (“2013 Report And Recommendations”, 3). When I first saw this topic, one name jumped into my mind, James Rhodes, a rising British pianist. He was abused by his teacher back into teenage time, and this tragic experience brought him not only physical harms but also mental illness. He got involved into some drug issues and everything just seemed so messed up. However, it is music that pulls him back from the edge and let him become whom he is today. He once said in the interview “On the piano”

The community we chose to perform an analysis on is the Village of Oswego, a far western suburb of Chicago. The analysis will include a brief history with both subjective and objective observations of the people, place, and social systems. Additionally, this paper will include an analysis of the village’s strength and weakness as well as a nursing wellness diagnosis and plans for goals and interventions.

You don’t just have one man shows, it’s a team of people working together to create one sound or one play or musical. In art classes, everyone’s goal is to express yourself and make something that is beautiful in your eyes and also in others. When you create something or play a beautiful piece on an instrument or remembered your lines so perfectly and just nailed that scene, you feel great about yourself. You really see your talents and you’re proud of yourself. The arts also spread culture awareness. One culture isn’t the same as another, they each have different styles of dance and music that represent them. Also, studies have shown that the arts in early childhood development help the child with developing their language skills. The arts aren’t just for academic needs they help with ways to deal with emotions and are just plain fun. They aren’t something to do away

Western traditions narrowly define art as a market-oriented specialized discipline (Levine & Levine, 2004). When art is used therapeutically, content and meaning take priority over mechanics and technicalities.
