SPRING CHICKENS
Saturday 3rd October 2009 marked the culmination of a two-year creative arts programme that focused on increasing creative expression and engagement with the older community across Northern Ireland.
Spring Chickens, funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies, was inspired by Big Telly’s hugely positive and energetic experience working with the older generation on its past productions.
Each of the five shows were professionally directed and produced; and written, designed and performed entirely by the older population. Furthermore, with the support of cutting edge technology, all the arts venues were web–streamed live on the night.
Colette Moore, Director of Housing at Clanmil Housing said: -
"At Clanmil we encourage our tenants to lead active lives and we are delighted that they have had this wonderful opportunity to participate in a project that promotes active ageing and acknowledges the contribution older people can make to the arts. We need more arts projects like this that have such a positive impact on older people’s quality of life."
