End of Life Poems is a short film capturing nursing students narrating poems they had written
This project was a transformation from paper to performance. For the ‘Art of Nursing’ conference, November 2017, at London South Bank University, the Encore Theatre Company coached final year nursing students to perform a series of poems they had written for their End of Life Care module. They performed these at the conference, and also created this short video.
This film was shot on location at LSBU and in a ‘green room’. The older actors are members of the Encore Theatre Company, and the nurses are narrating their own poems.
Filmed, produced and edited: Nirmala Martis.
