More Information on Anniversary
Performance, Music, Dance, Stories, Life
It’s not a time for living in the past or in the future but living fully in the present. We mark out our significant moments with anniversaries. Anchors in time.
Anniversary is a piece of contemporary theatre created by a group of older performers. Theatre that crosses boundaries effortlessly between performance art, contemporary dance, music and personal stories.
Developed at West Yorkshire Playhouse through a commission from The Baring Foundation in July 2015.

Relaxed PerformanceA relaxed performance is a specially selected show from our programme, with slight adaptations to make it suitable for an audience of young people or adults with learning disabilities. This may include extra lighting, additional wheelchair spaces and the freedom to move to alternative seating if required.
Dementia-Friendly PerformanceA relaxed performance with adaptations to technical aspects of the show, flexible seating options and a relaxed attitude to audience responses and movement in the auditorium. In our front of house space we will have a quiet room, clearer visual markers and signage, and additional staff and volunteers trained to sensitively and respectfully welcome people living with dementia and their supporters to this show.
