To organize an Event in Hospital medium |
Many associations remain fixed within altogether
conventional frameworks évènementiels. One however should not
hesitate to cross the step, to overflow and invest more unexpected
places. To put a share of animation in the hospitals is
clear-sighted known such a modest idea. Here it is the
association which leaves to the meeting a public whose temporary
immobilization has what to make morose. It is thus necessary to
give oneself the means of a so beautiful initiative. |
Hospital medium |
| This medium N ' is not accessible to all the cultural
forms and it is necessary to know to adapt to offer one moment of
relaxation even of happiness to the patients. Such an event thus
prepares in the spirit of the hospital of its design to its
realization. One can wonder what justifies such a step. In
general, it acts of a catch, an idea which directs a project towards
this finality. The "right to the spectacle" is advanced
motivations, to move for those which cannot is to it dynamics and to
create a spectacle accessible to the hospital medium is the essential
problems. The hospital medium remains very open to this type of
demonstration (to the extent of its abilities) and accomodates readily
theatre companies, clowns, puppets, magicians, dancers, exposures,
workshops of plays or painting... But for the logistic problems
it is necessary to hold account of the psychological constraints:
the hospital is not that a place of hope is D cure, it is also
the symbol of a prison or a last stage.
|
Design of the project |
| A project which must be presented in a hospital must
take into account of many factors. Will know initially that your
project must be malleable, according to the place and circumstances'
in which will present it to you. Its duration should not exceed
an hour, one hour thirty and it is advised not to envisage a sound
track which could disturb the peace of the hospital, nor to even
present a too noisy spectacle. Do not envisage one more to
taste, the patients being able to be compelled with a particular mode.
Let the hospital take care some. You have the choice
between a participative representation or not. In the spectacles
for children for example, you can make them take part but in this case
avoid the too sporting activities or the workshops make-up. Make
in kind conceive calm and easy activities, not to support activities
which would put children at the variation. It is very important
to eliminate any discrimination: rather than to make take part
one or two children, prefer to make some take part no... or all.
Last thing: make in kind be available the afternoon or the
weekend because in fact the time sections will be required of you.
Also announce if you wish the presence of the families or not at
the time of your demonstration, which could be possible in the rather
large and pleasant rooms for the patients.
|
First contacts with the hospital |
| You should now seek the hospitals which accept and are
able to receive spectacles. Will know that even if some cannot
allow it or do not have rooms envisaged, the majority have an
allocated budget for this purpose and some are even, according to the
management or the will of the cultural persons in charge, in request
for such projects. The spectators can go children in service
pediatry to the old people in convalescent home, or even mixed.
You could also be brought to produce you in the rooms for the
confined to bed patients. Thus envisage to be flexible and to
know the possibilities well that you can offer as for the
intervention, as minimal size of the space for which you require, if
you need really a delimited space, the minimum material equipment,
human resources minimum... To list the hospitals, you can either
use the yellow pages, or the town halls which have a social service
and even of a welfare officer, or still the Popular Help. Draw
up the list of the names and co-ordinates of the persons in charge.
|
To present the project |
| Be enthusiastic, your project is a means of diverting
itself or to inform itself, do not forget it at a time when you must
convince your interlocutors of the founded good of your spectacle.
Prepared any kind of documents, photographs, files, plates, and
if you already occurred in a hospital, add a letter of introduction of
the hospital which you accomodated and the name of the person in
charge like proof of your experiment. You will have to then
surely present your project at a doctor. You must thus be
familiar with your case on the end of the fingers and know to answer
the questions of the persons in charge and the doctors. Will be
able to then integrate their remarks and their modifications in what
you intend to present.
|
The D-day |
| The day of your intervention, you will be never alone
with your public. You will always have at your sides is a
psychological teacher who will be able to direct you towards a topic
or a debate and which will be able to possibly answer the questions
which would put to you badly at ease, that is to say a nurse who will
occupy herself of the patients during your representation (you do not
stop, they are usual care for the patients and who do not deserve that
one pays attention to it). Prepare you nevertheless to face a
psychologically difficult situation. You can be touched very
well by the people whom you will have opposite you. If you feel
that the situation becomes too difficult, ridges to replace you by a
member of your team or even by the teacher because the people who will
face you will feel your faintness.
|
Some recommendations |
| Since you to move and consider the people hospitalized
as well as the others, remain in this state of mind. There is
thus a priori no subject to avoid during your intervention, but you
can, by precaution, to meet the medical team which occupies and knows
her patients and will be able to thus help you to anticipate the
reactions of your public. In a general order, let the public
intervene if it wishes it. Do not leave an ignored remark,
integrate into your spectacle, answer or at least show him that you
understood it by a smile. If the remark is awkward, the service
of framing will be given the responsability to render comprehensible
it. One can also ask for which behavior to have with patients.
Especially be NATURAL, do not force your gestures, do not do too
much of it. The sensitive people notice this kind of attitude
easily and could doubt your sincerity. Do not endeavour to be
conclusive. Enough paradoxically, it is you who could need a
psychological preparation. The patients not know why they are
there, you. You could thus be more easily shocked by things
which form part of their daily newspaper. Evacuate what you
felt, speak in between you and draw in lesson for the next
demonstrations. If the psychologist with which you work has
time, you can even speak about it with him. Being given that
these actions are not opened with the public, one could think that
their mediatization and the search for partners is useless. It
is partly true but to organize an event in hospital medium exceeds the
relation association/hôpital/patient: on the one hand because
the mediatization of this collaboration involves a generalization of
the awakening of the cultural conditions in hospital medium and on the
other hand because these events can be the mediators of your sponsors
and hospitals. We advise you to direct your search for sponsors
towards the stores of toys, the printed balloons, the costumes, the
decorations, clothing... they will be able to in kind give a support
to you which will be the happy occasion to perfect your spectacle.
