Both Sides, Now is an inter-disciplinary community arts project, produced by ArtsWok Collaborative and Drama Box, set up to engage the general public in conversations about issues of death and dying. This qualitative research study aimed to investigate its efficacy as a community arts project, its impact on audiences, artists, stakeholders and volunteers who attended or were involved in its construction as well as how they perceived and responded to the event. Finally, it sought to identify what artists, healthcare workers, academics and stakeholders could learn from immersive arts experiences like Both Sides, Now to inform future such projects. This research was carried out by Drs. Prue Wales and Charlene Rajendran from the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University.
