About Moving Memory Dance Theatre

Moving Memory produces performances, workshops and training, offers guidance to others and contributes to research so that people across the country perceive ageing differently. Our experience as older people, and the techniques we have developed, resonate with, and have proved valuable to, other marginalised communities. Moving Memory’s vision is for a society where older and other marginalised people are fully included in, and valued by, society. Our mission is to use our experience as older people, to employ the arts, specifically dance and movement performances and workshops, to empower other people, release their creativity and offer them a voice - so that being older is valued as a creative, fulfilling and liberating stage of life. Our values are based on generosity of spirit, humility, a sense of fun and including all participants as partners, collaborators and co-authors. Our work addresses the pernicious and ingrained ageism in individuals and across society which the UN Report on Ageism, March 2021, says “leads to poorer health, social isolation, earlier deaths and cost(s) economies billions”.
