A dance company in the UK is challenging the perceptions that dance is the domain of young people. The Company of Elders is performance group for non-professional dancers aged over 60, that set up by renown dance organisation Sadler's Wells in 1989.Back then it was an arts club for older adults, with workshops held with visiting companies and the odd performance. But as interest grew, it became a performance group in its own right in 1992. Company members will take to the stage next month in a new work called The Exchange, where they'll join in a hip-hop influenced performance alongside members of ZooNation - a company of dancers from the other end of the age spectrum. Kathryn speaks with Elaine Foley, projects manager learning and engagement at Sadler's Wells and Jennifer James, one of the company's members.
Mike Skinner helped define an era with The Streets' album Original Pirate Material in 2002. Now he's back with not only new music but an accompanying film, The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light. He talks to Nick Ahad about guerrilla filming in nightclubs and the influence of Raymond Chandler. The choreographer, writer and founder of hip hop dance company ZooNation, Kate Prince, tells us about a dramaturg who has been a key influence on her. We hear about the advice and inspiration offered by Lolita Chakrabati ahead of her work inspired by the music of Sting and The Police. The British Textile Biennial 2023 is highlighting the extraordinary influence of Lancashire. From the moors to the mills, it's a region which defined the modern world's approach to the clothes we wear. That troubling and complex legacy is explored by a series of installations. Evie Manning, co-creator of Common Wealth, talks to Nick Ahad about Fast Fast Slow - a community-led catwalk experience which explores throwaway fashion and our relationship with clothes.
