Exploring the Meaning of a Performance in Music Therapy for Children and Their Families Experiencing Homelessness and Family Violence

Abstract
This qualitative project explored the experience and meaning of a supported group performance held at the conclusion of a music therapy program for children and their families who were receiving support for homelessness and family violence. Interviews were conducted with three preadolescent girls who had participated in the group performance, as well as four parents who were audience members. An interpretative phenomenological analysis explored some of the similarities and differences experienced by participants. The performance was a multifaceted experience, with both positive and challenging aspects described. Three recurrent themes were identified: the children experienced intense, but mixed, emotions; the performance connected the children to their family and peers; and the audience played an active role in the performance. The findings emphasize the ways performance provides opportunities for families to positively engage with one another, and support each other, during times of crisis.
