Friday rehearsal


Hello all, lots of useful things from today's conference, very inspiring. will share with you here and on the script.
Those of you in tomorrow, please create some new material, conduct video and sound interviews and look at the google script to develop grandfather scenes. we really need to go visit care homes, find older people choirs, acting groups etc you really need to organise that and research for yourselves.
If possible, play with charlotte masks to see if that idea works. i will come in and see you when i can.

Mostly i think develop the grandfather advice scenes.
Songs and puppets
Find visual images/metaphors to do with the props.

Not much time after Easter so tomorrow really important to those that can make it. I can come end of day to see new/developed material.

Some things from the conference.

'ageing seems such a shameful thing, it should only happen in the confines of one's own home.'

Old people are invisible.

Old people need to be visible; younger people need to see that life has a narrative

Retirement means stop taking up space.

I'm going to age in public in the next hour!

I have to go to the moon and back before i can leave the house.

People that were there: shall we ask grand gestures dance team if they will give us their video to use?

Look up three score dance company in brighton. Age uk Brighton.

If the city was different, older people's capabilities would be different.
