An
international conference on Dance and Ageing The Marks of Time conference took place in Liverpool on 12th and 13th January 2007 and was inspired by the decision by Liverpool Culture Company to designate 2006 as "Year of Performance"as part of the build-up to the Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008.
Marks of Time
looked at the issues of dance beyond youth and athletic bodies from three
perspectives
Marks of
Time brought dance practitioners, charity and voluntary workers,
local authority staff with older people remit, pensioners, community groups
and carers together to share models of good practice, debate and exchange
ideas. Marks
of Time offered inspiring speeches and engaging debates by leading
exponents in the field, presentations, dance workshops and a time to network.
Marks of Time featured an excerpt from Body
of Experience, a dance performance celebrating mature
performers. Body of Experience was co-commissioned
by Chaturangan and is currently touring nationally.
