PASSAGES THEATRE GROUP FOR OLDER PERFORMERS
Studio 1, Drama Studio, Shearwood Road, S10 2TD
University of Sheffield PhD student Bridie Moore runs a theatre group for older performers to explore the representations and experiences of older people. The group is made up of people over the age of 50 and is a central part of Bridie’s research project looking into ‘performances of age and ageing’. This theatre group offers older people an opportunity to explore ways in which they are, and would like to be, represented. Bridie has over 30 years’ experience as a theatre director and drama facilitator in mainstream and community theatre and as a teacher in further and community education.
Passages Theatre Group will develop performances to be staged at points over the next two years. It is Bridie’s aim to secure funding for the group to continue beyond her research project.
There will be no cost to take part in the group. For more information contact Bridie
