“Once a week, I visit an aged care home in Sydney and perform for the residents there. The catch is that for all of us to be safe, I perform outside, with my audience watching through a window. “Window therapy” is a way of engaging elderly people with the arts and music while physical distancing restrictions are in place. Usually I start by drawing a big gigantic love heart on the window, and then I write ‘I miss you’. I feel like I’m contributing to the happiness of people in the last stage of their lives and bringing the outside in.” — Benhur, Actor/Musician (Sydney, Australia) @benhur_illyputt
