'Excellent Fishamble... Ireland's terrific Fishamble.' Guardian
The Navigator Project explores how marginalisation causes health inequity, and asks whether integrating science, cross-cultural learning and theatre could raise awareness about health inequity in marginalised communities.
Commissioned and collected by Fishamble: The New Play Company, this book offers a unique combination of theatre and science, written by playwrights, scientists, policy makers, and healthcare professionals. It presents 10 short plays all exploring different aspects of Health Inequality and Marginalisation, through culture, gender, location, migrant status, or other factors, and the impact on health, or resilience of individuals and communities to deal with these issues. The plays are accompanied by 10 essays by experts in the field of medicine, science, politics, and activism, in response. Often, artists are commissioned to create a response to scientific or medical research, but this book does it the other way around, commissioning artists to write the plays and asking scientists to respond.
The 10 plays are full of insight, humanity, and lived experience from a diverse selection of writers, 4 of which were commissioned and 6 chosen from over 220 submissions of plays received by Fishamble. The plays will be performed in theatres and at health conferences, sparking debate. The book will be an invaluable resource to those interested in theatre, science and the crossover between the two.
