Age on the Stage

‘Age on the Stage: Staging Age Through Creative Encounter in Telescope by Quarantine’  showcases the value of using creative, participatory approaches to better understand ageing and difference. By observing and sharing a series of staged encounters by the theatre company Quarantine in one strand of their performance The Questions – called Telescope – it aims to encourage theatre makers, practitioners, academics, and researchers to consider how artistic methods can open new ways of seeing, feeling, and thinking about these themes.

It is a booklet of interest to artists, researchers, students, and cultural practitioners interested in participatory performance, ageing, difference, and staged encounters – alongside funders, organisations, and audiences seeking reflective accounts of socially engaged practice.
