In these unprecedented times of stress and strain for healthcare providers across the globe, The Choreography of Care provides a helpful guide and insights to care for the caregiver.
This new book by Minnesota’s Stuart Pimsler Dance and Theater’s Stuart Pimsler chronicles how the work of Pimsler and artistic co-director Suzanne Costello continues to respond to the needs of caregivers in professional settings and in homes. It discusses strategies for bringing creative expression to the professional caregivers’ workplace, as well as the impact art has made on the healing community. These pages speak to the importance of keeping caregivers healthy by offering ideas for their self-care and wellness.
Included are specific movement, theater, writing, visual art, and vocal exercises, and directed improvisations for invigorating the practices of healers. Similarly, artists of all disciplines will learn about touchstone issues and techniques for collaborating with the healthcare community.
