THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS (2021)

Through the Looking Glass presents the experiences of the Broadway Blazers, a group of older people in Lewisham, exploring the loneliness, isolation, and fear they have felt during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

A dance film with an original score, Through the Looking Glass explores the experience of lockdown from the perspective of older people, and was developed in a series of Zoom sessions during 2020 with Judy Gordon. Filmed, socially distanced, at the performer’s houses and at the Broadway Theatre where the group are based, the film celebrates creativity as a resilient and hopeful act during one of our most difficult times in history.
