About Us
Moving Memory is a groundbreaking dance theatre company that puts the older body centre stage.
We’ve been making striking visual performances for public spaces, festivals and theatres for over a decade. Our work supports older people to have greater access to creative activities and challenges preconceptions of ageing. Over the past seven years, Moving Memory has performed to 13,000 people and involved 3,000 people through its participatory work.
OUR VISION
Our vision is based on generosity of spirit, a sense of fun and including all participants as collaborators and co-authors.
Moving Memory is:
Ambitious and professional
We strive for the highest quality artistic standards, delivered with integrity and respect.
Challenging
We challenge assumptions and expectations of age and ageing across the course of life.
Older person-led and co-created
The organisation is led by older people and our work engages with participants of all ages as co-authors.
Inclusive and personal
Everyone is respected as a unique, extraordinary individual and can explore the depth of personal experience to express their identity.
Open and outward-looking
Our work is publicly shared through performance, workshop or film demonstrating the richness, value and importance of older people’s lives.
Mischievous
We bring a sense of humour, mischief and fun to everything we do.
