Eek & Wild are specialists in performing in Hospitals. We understand the unique nature of working in a healthcare setting.
We are currently Artists in Residence at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. As part of their Arts for All programme we perform on the Paediatric wards and waiting rooms.
WARDS AND WAITING ROOMS
We understand that hospitals can be unsettling for children and their families. Dance can offer a moment of distraction, joy and connection during a difficult time. Our dances are created to give choice and ownership to children and young people- patients can choose to watchand interact with dances about video games, knitting and more. These short dances are ideal for the busy hospital setting and can be performed by the bedside, in the waiting room and on the wards.
BESPOKE
SCULPT is a bespoke show made in response to Chelsea and Westminster’s Hospital Art Collection. The show is designed for patients and visitors to the hospital and is performed in the public Atrium entrance area.
Please get in touch if you would like us to create a bespoke performance for your hospital.

“The patient was totally engaged with you. She had limited words and you were able to communicate with her through dance/music/Makaton. It brought joy to my heart..simply AMAZING. This young patient has had her dreams fulfilled this afternoon.”
Mother of patient at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital
“I will also forever be grateful to [eek & wild], who rocked up at [my child’s] bedside yesterday about 15 mins ahead of his general anaesthetic, when we were all feeling very VERY low and desperate. THE KINDEST, MOST ENTHUSIASTIC, UNINHIBITED, KEEN BEANS ON THE PLANET. ”
