James will speak about his new work on the concept of care aesthetics<\/em> \u2013 that is how the practice of care is embodied, sensory and craft like. Rather than thinking about the arts in<\/em> care settings, care aesthetics<\/em> focuses on the artistry of the care worker, and the care work of the artist. James will discuss care aesthetics <\/em>as it is applied to the work of health care workers, artists and in everyday life. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the relation between care aesthetics<\/em> and socially engaged theatre. How might theatre practitioners create experiences of care in their work? Considering the impact of Covid and our current \u2018cost of living crisis\u2019, what implications does attention to the aesthetics of care have for theatre projects and their participants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
