For some, old age means wisdom. For most, however, http://festival.summerhall.co.uk/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=eventit means decrepitude…especially regarding women.

This show is an encounter between women who met in the 1980s, lost contact, and met again. Together they reflect on the body, a living memory which is transforming and has so much more to tell: all these years may have gone unnoticed, but are always noteworthy. If not, what would be the point of ageing? Nothing tragic about it. Only time passing by. With the pleasure to be here, to make do, with dance, with life.

"Through the work, the message came through loud and clear: Age is what you make of it, and no barrier to beauty or grace. With any luck, these women will be promoting that truth for many years to come.Joyce Homan (Phillyist Review A powerful dance performance, with its grace and beauty, is always a lucky find. One that combines technical proficiency with a willingness to ask hard questions is more rare and unexpected."
