New View for adults with mental health issues
New View is a long-term darts project that aims to give adults with mental health issues the opportunity to express themselves through music, drama and dance. Participants work alongside darts artists to sample a variety of different artforms and engage in creative activities that are both enjoyable and educational. The group sing, use percussion instruments and even produce their own songs together, often accompanied by simple movement exercises, and are currently working towards creating a CD of their work.
