The NEA Caregiving Research Lab at ASU focuses on the use of participatory arts involving caregivers and those they care for together. Alongside the Lab’s research activities, we develop collaborative research and practice frameworks to help guide others working at the intersection of the arts, caregiving, and research. We look at larger questions of implementation and translation science that inform the cultivation of cross-sector partnerships, allowing these findings to travel from the lab to the settings where they will do the most good. Finally, we highlight infrastructural considerations and resources necessary to support the scientists, artists, humanists and community partners who wish to work together through effective and creative health collaborations.

Because our first study was conducted during pandemic conditions, we learned a great deal about doing participatory theatre online and at a distance. To learn more about designing online participatory theatre, visit this page.
