LOVE/LIFE

LOVE/LIFE is our seated dance class for people over 40 and for those living with dementia and Alzheimer's. Online sessions are currently being delivered for people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

LOVE/LIFE was originally delivered in partnership with Active Fife and Alzheimer’s Scotland for people in care homes around Fife. We worked with older people and their families and carers to develop a unique dance workshop that gets everyone chatting about their favourite memories of dancing through the years.  We explore the power of dance and music using it as a tool to reconnect with memories and physicality. 

We have now developed LOVE/LIFE into an online seated dance class for people from all cultural backgrounds. In these sessions, we will engage with participants’ backgrounds and dance from different cultures to learn and explore creatively around the world (from the comfort of our living room!) 

The online sessions, delivered on Zoom, are 1 hour long and will be followed by a social cafe, so people have a chance to have a cup of tea and a biscuit and chat about where they are from, talk about memories they have, recipes and sharing stories about life at the moment.  

When and where?

The class takes place every Wednesday on the Zoom app (can be accessed via a laptop, mobile or tablet) from 1.00pm-2:30pm. The class is free for people to attend thanks to generous funding from The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust.

Term Dates:

The current term starts on Wednesday 17th March and runs until October 2021.

Through Thomas' role as Artist in Residence at BBC Radio 2, we created a short dance film working with some of the residents of one of the care homes in Fife called 'Passed Tense'.  Check out the images and film below!
