Ageing Artfully: Older People and Professional Participatory Arts in the UK by David Cutler.
To accompany the Foundation’s core costs grants programme for arts organisations working with older people, we have published the first UK wide mapping study of this work. 120 case studies of organisations were identified and numerous examples of all art forms, especially dance, drama, music, singing and the visual arts. The report looks at the history of the movement and puts it in a policy context. The man benefits of this work, beyond artistic expression are seen as improved physical and mental health and better personal and societal relationships. The report concludes with thirteen recommendations as to how this work can be strengthened. Ageing Artfully has a foreword by Dame Joan Bakewell, the Government’s ‘Voice of Older People’.

Last year Lindsay worked with her friend and musician Madeleine Hart to create her first music video. The video features live action and stop motion animation and was filmed entirely in East London (London Fields, the canal in Hackney and Jamboree Club).

Lindsay said “After so many years of making films with young people, I almost forgot how much I love making them myself. This was a nice reminder.”

Lindsay and Madeleine have plans to work together again so watch out for more.
