What does it mean to relive a memory?
During lockdown, Company of Elders have been working remotely with choreographer Eleesha Drennan to explore their relationships to memory and time. Relive is a poignant short dance film borne from this collaboration with our resident dance company for over 60s. A yearn for human connection. It looks at how the process of reliving memories and experiences can tell a story of what matters most in life: the people we share it with.

In “Making Dances – Dancing Replies”, the Dance On Ensemble invites contemporary artists – Tim Etchells, Mathilde Monnier and Ginevra Panzetti/Enrico Ticconi – to respond in their own artistic languages to iconic works of modern and postmodern dance by Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham and Lucinda Childs. In five performance works presented over two evenings, the artists reflect on classical but radical works that challenged the rules of their time.
