​

Performing arts participation is a health promoting activity, with beneficial effects reported across healthy children, adolescents, adults & older adults. Positive health effects were associated with as little as 30 - 60 mins of performing arts participation, with drumming, expressive & exercise-based modes of dance linked to the broadest health benefits.

Artists and scientists alike are focused on exploring the world through introspection, examination and experimentation. Collaboration provides multiple perspectives and methodologies leading to novel dialogue and expression. Combining scientific exploration with creative expression offers unique opportunities for forming new knowledge and creativity. To tackle the intractable challenges of our society requires a language of cross-disciplinarity interconnectedness. Relational Space provides a space for artistic expression and knowledge exchange focused on art in relation to knowledge able to promote transformational learning and a brighter future.
