Research Findings

This chapter examines a creative participatory research programme which highlights the benefits of theatre engagement for older people. Creative participatory research of this nature has a number of benefits and challenges. First, this kind of research places older people very much at the centre as opposed to simply being respondents to surveys and interviews. Second, using the artistic medium — namely, theatre and drama — in which the researchers were working to ‘show’ rather than just describe or write up the research findings was a logical approach to take. Third, there are, of course, challenges for everyone involved: the whole process is a risky one. Ultimately, the benefit of this approach is that it recognises, acknowledges, and enhances the skills and abilities that older people have; captures and conveys some of the less tangible aspects of experience and participation; and shows audiences something of the actual creative process.
