We’ll Take It From Here, Dear (Work In Progress)

Event Info

We’ll Take It From Here, Dear is a striking new theatre piece that places older women’s bodies unapologetically front and centre.

Created by our 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 – their autonomy quietly removed under the guise of care.

We’ll take it from here, dear is not a kindness, it’s a quiet act of erasure. But this is not a story of decline, or quiet resilience. It’s something louder – and messier!

We say enough is enough.

Following the performance, a new work in progress animated film by Folkestone-based artist Sue Bridge will be screened, created in response to the themes of the piece.

We’ll then open up the space for a Q&A chaired by acclaimed performance artist Bobby Baker – a chance to share your thoughts, questions and reflections, and play a part in how the work develops from here.
