Elixir Festival

About the Show

Established in 2014, the Elixir Festival is a unique event celebrating lifelong creativity and the contribution of older artists. It was set up to recognise the contribution that older artists make, challenge assumptions about what older people can and want to do, throw a spotlight on the diversity of dance practice and raise questions about what is next for the sector.

Established in 2014, and now in its third edition, Elixir Festival celebrates lifelong creativity. The festival recognises the contribution that older artists make, challenging assumptions about what older people can and want to do. Elixir Festival 2020 includes an evening of renowned older artists working with international choreographers on the Sadler’s Wells Theatre stage, as well as performances in the Lilian Baylis Studio from Liz Aggiss & Charlotta Ofverholm. There will also be participation opportunities, with a series of Elixir Workshops. This varied and vibrant programme of performances and workshops proves that creativity does not diminish with age; in fact, it continues to grow.
