Unveiling Shadows at Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services (Dublin)

Hear from performance artist Gabrielle Breathnach who facilitated drama-based movement classes for residents and staff at Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services in Harold’s Cross, Dublin. These classes were designed to prompt conversations about memories and aspirations, while exploring mutual experiences of dying, death, grief, and loss. This project resulted from our Arts in Residential Care Seed Grants 2024 programme supported by Caru. Learn more: https://hospicefoundation.ie/our-supp...
