Use My Body While It's Still Young
UK Premiere. In an age obsessed with the worship of youth, and beauty defined through youth, where does that leave those who are no longer young? It is this issue that award-winning Norwegian choreographer Hege Haagenrud explores in her extraordinarily insightful Use My Body While It's Still Young. Danced by four performers aged 65 to 79, all of whom have had long and successful careers as dancers, it confronts our pre-conceptions with the reality and sensuality of ageing. The music, played live by composer Rebekka Karijord, accompanies video footage and recordings of personal stories. Haagenrud makes a welcome return to Dance Umbrella following performances at the Unicorn 2014 with this memorable work for adults. Part of Dance Umbrella
