Coming of Age – Part of the Gwanwyn Festival 2010

This dance piece choreographed by Caroline Lamb for Striking Attitudes was performed for the Gwanwyn Festival of Arts and Creativity of older people in 2010. This work will also feature in Striking Attitudes’ second film, Footfalls.

This piece highlights the work of the older dancer and gives an opportunity to get an unusual close up view of two older dancers at work, proving that grace and artistry may change as we get older, but they do not diminish.
