Two years ago, the choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion created The Elders Project, a small gem of a work that celebrated the experience, wisdom and grace encapsulated in the bodies and the memories of older dancers. With a cast ranging in age from 54 to 70, The Elders Project revolved around a series of solos in which each dancer performed a highly personal and concentrated sequence of movements, accompanied by songs whose lyrics had been taken from the performers’ stories about their lives and careers.

    Ian McKellen gave one of the most high-profile performances as Lear in recent years. The RSC   production transferred to London, toured the world and was filmed. The screen version preserved McKellen’s modesty; his stripping off in the storm scene on stage almost had as much attention as Daniel Radcliffe’s appearance in Equus Photograph: Tristram Kenton
