Anniversary

Created from a day’s residency with Alan Lyddiard, Anniversary formed part of our first live performance at the University of Sheffield Drama Studio in May 2022.

“Poignant, funny, touching”

(audience member)

Artistic Director Lucy Haighton received a Develop Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council to further her work with older dancers and this piece, working with Alan Lyddiard and Third Bite Dance, developed out of that research.

Audience Responses

“There’s something rare and aesthetically pleasing about seeing an older ensemble on stage”

“Seeing an over 50s cast on stage, stories of the individuals, genuine fun of the performers and love to be there”

“I liked hearing the depth of life experience”
