Film premiere

HAPPY EVER OLDER

Come to a land without any clocks

and dance with a tree, a moth and a fox

 

Thanks to everyone who joined us at Theatre Deli in London for the launch of our short dance film ‘Happy Ever Older’. An original musical fairy tale about the pitfalls and pleasures of ageing. We aim to make an impact on a shoestring budget and have a ‘make-do-and-mend’ attitude.

“Great fun. And marvellously DIY. Gilly said she wanted to inspire everyone to have a go. I certainly wanted to join in! Reminded me of 1980s Derek Jarman.” Rose Rouse, Founder of Advantages of Age.

Do be silly

We think it’s important to have as much fun as possible whatever your age.
