Making It
Making It features presentations from Dance United Yorkshire’s Elders Company, Ascendance’s performance company (Fuse Dance Collective) and Yorkshire Dance’s Company of People alongside a panel discussion.
In this session we explore the ambition to create dance work with older adults. We discuss where the lines blur between participatory and professional contexts, what success looks like and how to navigate expectation.
This event features live performance, digital presentation and a panel discussion.
