“Now comes the early darkness so I close the door and light the fire”
Lynne Lewis - October 2021

In Autumn 2021 Striking Attitudes held a series of creative sessions on zoom, allowing older dancers from across Wales, Scotland, England and Serbia to be involved.

The sessions involved dance, creative writing and much work with autumnal leaves.

6 older dancers were available for filming which took part in the graveyard of St. Augustine’s Church, Penarth.

Thanks to the National Community Fund, Striking Attitudes continues to celebrate work with older people.

How Shall We Begin Again?

Jo Fong was the lead artist on this movement performance project in collaboration with Striking Attitudes and guests.

The How Shall We Begin Again project was an Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru | Arts Council of Wales funded R and D project, a collaboration between some of the older professional dancers of Striking Attitudes and Jo Fong. Originally called the ‘Not finished Yet’ project, led by Jo, the aim was to search for new ways to continue to dance, as mature bodies, as older professional dancers. We were generously supported with studio space by National Dance Company Wales and the Wales Millennium Centre - Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru.
