A New Residential Project In Care Homes

Today is National Day of #ArtsinCareHomes and we're delighted to announce that we're one of four new arts partners including Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, Gecko and curious directive who'll be working with Magic Me on ARCHE, a three-year residency project exploring touch in care homes in Essex. The project is funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

"The subject of ‘touch’ has been present in our work for some time and we have been really keen to explore this further in new contexts. Working with Magic Me alongside the residents, and staff of a care home is such a wonderful opportunity to understand, listen and share on a much deeper level, and with wellbeing at the heart of the work, we can’t wait to get started." - Sam Butler and David Harradine, co-artistic directors of Fevered Sleep.
