Project Description:
This intergenerational project, based on the idea of the sleeping dream as a creative event, took place in 6 healthcare venues – 3 involving younger people and 3 involving older people. Approximately 80 people participated in the workshops, under the guidance of artist Jack Healy, using the spoken word as the main medium, along with drawing for the younger groups.

The project produced no artwork as such; however, it promoted the idea that the process of dreaming constituted an arts activity in itself and therefore could bear fruit in the process of sharing.
