3. arts-based storytelling
has a unique capacity to
“educate, inspire, illuminate,
resist, heal and persuade…
[connecting] us with these who are
similar and dissimilar, open up new
ways of seeing and experiencing,
and illuminate that which often
remains in darkness”

EXPERIENCE OF
INFORMAL CAREGIVING
7. Your sister is the primary informal caregiver for your 61 year old mother,
who has end stage cancer. She rings, in a panic. She is exhausted and
angry. She tells you to ‘step up and do more to help’. WHAT HAPPENS

STORY COMPLETION
Your fiercely independent 87 year old father has had a fall, and broken his
hip. The hospital has said he cannot live alone in his large two-storey home
any more. They recommend two choices – either your father moves in with
you (and you become his informal caregiver), or into one small room in the
local nursing home. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

8. 2. DIGITAL STORYTELLING & PLAYS
Digital Storytelling uses multimedia tools to bring narratives to life –
we documented the experience of VR in aged care, developing a toolkit for
staff, residents and families, and 3 monologue plays (inspired by Alan
Hopgood’s HealthPlays, Australian Institute of Patient & Family Centred Care)

15. “We encounter the arts through
our full presence” (p.472,
Lawrence, 2012), with this
“emphatic experience” (Eisner,
2008, p.7) having the potential to
transform individual worldviews
and communities, challenging
taken for granted assumptions by
allowing us to envision different
experiences and alternative
realities and memorably revealing
truth through art and beauty,
enabling us to “access elusive
aspects of knowledge that might
otherwise remain hidden or
ignored” (p. 313, Holm et al., 2018).
