About this event

Professor Daisy Fancourt , an award-winning scientist and world-leading expert who recently published Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Transform Our Health , will discuss the life-enhancing power of the arts in an evening hosted by broadcaster, journalist and podcast host, Hannah MacInnes . In Art Cure , Fancourt reveals how engaging with the arts can improve our health, make us happier and even help us live longer. Informed by the results of decades of scientific studies, Art Cure explains why the arts – alongside diet, sleep, exercise and nature – are the forgotten fifth pillar of health, and gives you the tools to write your own 'arts prescription'. Joining the panel will be actress Tamzin Outhwaite , actor Alfred Enoch and Young Vic's Artistic Director, Nadia Fall OBE .
