Drawing on her background as a theatre artist, researcher, and occupational therapist, Dr. Julia Henderson discusses theatre’s potential to resist, redress, and re-imagine ageist cultural narratives and representations of older adults. Through analysis of professionally produced plays and community engaged co-creative performance projects (such as Raising the Curtain on the Lived Experience of Dementia, #HaveASeniorMoment Social Media Series, and the Intergenerational Arts for Climate Action Study), Dr Henderson shares how notions of temporality, relationality, and embodiment can challenge ageist stereotypes and narrative tropes, and illuminate new understandings of older adults doing, being, becoming, and belonging through performance.
