Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our website!

As performing health collective, we are committed to bringing performance and artistic work to health and health care.  The professional home of LJ Nelles and Julia Gray, performing health collective brings a wealth of experience together as we move forward with cross-disciplinary work between artists and health/medical professionals.

We will be presenting our work “Seeing the Forest” on December 1, 2011, at SIM-ONE.  “Seeing the Forest” is a theatrical play based on research about patient safety culture in hospitals by Drs Deborah Tregunno and Liane Ginsberg of York University’s Faculty of Health.  The play, co-written by Julia and Dr Gail Mitchell (also of York U), was directed by LJ and features a cast of professional actors including Melina Nacos, Mark Prince, Allison Lawrence and Tim Machin. The play continues to be a hit as it has been performed several times over the past two years – other cast members in the past have included Sarah Machin Gale and Melissa Morris.
