Still Alive

Still Alive explores the marginalization of seniors and the attitude that they are dispensable in a culture that values youth.

We hosted workshops utilizing active listening, journaling, drawing and using co-created movement for seniors to be acknowledged and validated. The material gathered from the workshop was then used to create a dance, inviting workshop participants to join DS&D dancers in the performance!
