The R\u00ed R\u00e1 Sessions was a series of twelve traditional Irish music and dance sessions in HSE Nursing Homes in County Wexford , coinciding with Fleadh Ceoil na hEireann held in Wexford in August 2024. Vivian was one of the dancers who delivered these sessions, experiencing the physical, emotional, and psychological benefits the programme had for the staff and residents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Through this commission, Vivian will use dance and movement to explore the impact that a programme of live music and dance had on the wider community of the care home. The emotionally resonant aspects of the project will be emphasised, asking what happens to the organisational culture of a nursing home when relationships are disrupted with music and dance?\u00a0This commission uses creativity to tell the story of the R\u00ed R\u00e1 Sessions, further highlighting the value that cultural activity has in helping to build healthy communities. As per Creative Ireland Wexford\u2019s strategy, the commissions aims to improve the quality of life and cultural access in healthcare settings.
