Strike a Pose Pop up Performance
This pop up performance rolls out the red carpet and playfully explores catwalks, voguing culture and inspirational octogenarians like Vivienne Westwood, Al Pacino and Tom Jones. Following a lockdown where older adults were portrayed as vulnerable and encouraged to stay at home Strike a Pose uses playful choreography and humour to challenge stereotypes and celebrate the older body in all its forms. Strike a Pose is inspired by an idea from TC Howard and choreographed by Rachel Fullegar and Kate Cox (of Gracefool Collective) and performed by a cast of 50 non- professional older adults from across Leeds. Strike a Pose will pop up during lunch on the Friday of Ageless festival.
