Ageing Youth

7.30pm on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th January 2015, Leo Price Theatre.

This Learn & Train production was created over a 6-day creative residency with students at Bishops Stortford College. Devised by the company with direction and choreography from Helen Millar and Simon Pittman for Rough Fiction.

With help from Rough Fiction, The Lower 5th Company have created a swirling exploration of our relationship to age, time and growing older. Through a mixture of verbatim interviews, original text and physical choreography the company present a 60-minute piece about looking back, looking forward and living in the moment. The piece is presented across three spaces with a single soundtrack; part installation and part theatrical performance.

We hope that this process will provide the cast with an invaluable grounding from which to begin their own devised pieces next year.
