Event Info
We’ll Take It From Here, Dear is a striking theatre piece that places older women’s bodies unapologetically front and centre.
Created by Moving Memory’s core company in collaboration with composer and musician Nina Clark, the work confronts the persistent patronising and disenfranchising of older women – how they are silenced, sidelined and stripped of agency, and how their autonomy can be quietly removed under the guise of care.
We’ll take it from here, dear is not a kindness, but a quiet act of erasure. This is not a story of decline, or quiet resilience. It is something louder – and messier. We say enough is enough.
The sharing was followed by a new work in progress animated film by Folkestone-based artist Sue Bridge, created in response to the themes of the piece.
The event concluded with a Q&A chaired by acclaimed performance artist Bobby Baker, offering an opportunity for audiences to share their thoughts, questions and reflections and contribute to the ongoing development of the work.
