Dancing is ageless
Expressing yourself so as not to be shunned by society
Most Western countries have a problematic relationship with old age. It has to be concealed for as long as possible, until it can no longer be hidden, at which point it is consigned to the closet. This philosophy permeates all spheres of society, including the arts. To imagine a dance troupe made up entirely of elderly people doesn't seem to make sense. Yet for years, the Prime company has been staging only people aged 60 and over, performing at numerous venues, including the Edinburgh Fringe, the world's largest performing arts festival.
The report follows dancers as they practice, and even shows moments of performance at the Fringe. We see various individuals who have decided to join the troupe after professional life to keep themselves active, feeling alive and not put off by society. Whether they're former dancers or simply curious, all can indulge in a variety of choreographies. Their bodies may not be as agile as they once were, but they're still able to move and express emotions to music. The very essence of the art of dance has never seemed so alive as it does when these members give their all to create moments of grace on stage.
