TRIPPING ALONG JUST FINE!

 

 Our committed group of participants never cease to amaze us.  Every week, one of them breezes into the session clutching something they have been inspired to make, write, draw, compose or design around the issues surrounding falls and falling.







As important as the project itself is the strong bond which has formed between group members.  Judging by the amount of merciless teasing and raucous laughter, things are going just they way they should be!



As the sessions themselves near the final weeks, we are pulling together the research, personal experiences and issues raised.  The group have bravely explored sometimes uncomfortable feelings and questions around falling - confidence, fear, dependence and risk-taking - as they progress into older age.  Their work has been expressed through art, drama, film, audio, photography and animation and will be shared via a web-based format early in 2012.
