Beside the Sea

19 September, 2017

An intergenerational group of people participating in a dance and movement workshop indoors, with instructor Glyn leading the class with raised arms facing the group.

We were delighted to be awarded funding from the Big Lottery Fund (Awards for All) which allowed us to run a fantastic project with the Sunshine Saturdays group at Age UK Thanet during October and November 2017.

Beside the Sea brought together an intergenerational, mixed ability group, including older people living with a dementia, and members of the Moving Memory company. They used movement, music, spoken word and projections to creatively explore the way the sea features in the identity of their local community – Margate. A video of the work will be available online shortly.
