The Connect Festival 2010 opens with Sadler’s Wells resident Company Of Elders, recently celebrated by BBC1’s Imagine arts documentary.

Constantly inspiring, these dancers, aged from 61 to 87, prove it is never too late to start dancing. Drawn from Sadler’s Wells’s local community, this group of 25 performers discovered dance late in life and now enjoy the immense social and physical benefits of dance.

Company Of Elders presents a mixed bill programme including the lyrical Sometimes I Wonder by Chris Tudor set to the 1930s and 1940s jazz music of Hoagy Carmichael, Simona Scotto’s moving As Time Goes By inspired by the film Casablanca and a brand new contemporary work by Wayne McGregor | Random Dance.
