| Annotation | Ages and Stages is a collaboration between Keele University and the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Between October 2009 and July 2012, the researchers explored historical representations of ageing within the Vic's social documentaries; and they interviewed 95 older people who have been involved with the theatre as volunteers, actors and employees, audience members, and sources for the documentaries. The research was drawn together to create a new piece of documentary drama called Our Age, Our Stage and the associated Ages and Stages Exhibition. The items in this folder reflect various stages in the research and its outcomes, such as the DVD of the Our Age, Our Stage performance at the New Victoria Theatre and the Ages & Stages Exhibition June 25th - July 21st 2012. The research demonstrates the importance of challenging stereotypes that creativity declines or ceases with age. The importance for older people of inclusion and participation through volunteering and involvement in creative activities is highlighted. The research was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the New Dynamics of Ageing Programme (NDA) (RES-356-25-005). (RH). |
