These allowed exploration of transformative learning as the key to understanding how verbatim theatre could raise social consciousness. Conclusions: From a Critical Realist perspective, verbatim theatre can potentially raise social consciousness through a transformative learning mechanism that consists of emotional and cognitive components.

Results: 96% of the children stated that they had enjoyed the clowns, 84% said the clowns had been entertaining and relieving, 60% reported the clowns had reduced their fear and excitement, 94% wished the clowns would visit them again and 80% said the first thing they would remember when they were hospitalized again would be the clowns.

An academic discipline has been clearly established through the development of programs at accredited universities, a growing body of research and dedicated field journals. However, significant inconsistencies in the use of language to reference the discipline pose challenges for practitioners, educators, policy-makers, service users and the public, and may impede progress. Methods: This descriptive study investigated the language used to reference the discipline informed by literature review, technical examination of language, a field survey and round-table dialog among educators. Results: The literature review revealed “arts and health” as the most common term used, which also was the preferred term for the greatest number of survey respondents (26%), followed by “arts, health and well-being” (22%) and “arts in health” (21%), confirming a general lack of consensus. Technical examination of language identified certain terms or phases as problematic. Dialog among round-table participants yielded the recommendation for “arts in health” as the term that, for educational purposes, may best describe the overarching discipline and be inclusive of both health care and community-based practices.

This exploratory study examined long-term effects of DfPD on non-dance activities outside the studio, functional mobility, self-efficacy, and quality of life (QoL). Methods: Individuals in four well-established DfPD classes completed a survey regarding perceived impact of DfPD. Response rate was 55%; 61 completed surveys were included in analyses. Results: Responses indicated that DfPD clearly impacts daily functioning outside the studio. Results of regression analyses indicated that functional mobility and self-efficacy were associated with QoL. Mediation analyses indicated that one way in which higher levels of functional mobility influence QoL is by enhancing self-efficacy of the PD participants. Conclusions: Because of the direct effect of self-efficacy on QoL, results suggest future research focus on self-efficacy as well as functional mobility and mood in dance research related to PD.","PeriodicalId":93017,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied arts & health","volume":"201 1","pages":"85 - 96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75993306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
