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.
