Creative Motion encourages older adults to stay physically and mentally active by engaging in theatre-based movement that stimulates the body, the imagination, and emotional expression.
The project supports improvements in mobility, balance, memory, and attention while fostering meaningful social interaction and a sense of belonging within groups.
Through adapted techniques, inclusive methodologies, and accessible session formats, the project ensures that older adults with different abilities can safely engage in creative movement.
Creative Motion equips facilitators, trainers, and community organisations with knowledge and tools to deliver movement sessions that are safe, structured, and uplifting.
The project develops a clear, user-friendly guide that helps organisations implement theatre-based activities consistently and effectively across different settings.
By training professionals who can continue teaching others, Creative Motion ensures that the programme remains active and expandable beyond the project’s duration.
Theatre-based community events allow participants to showcase their progress, raising awareness among policymakers, caregivers, and cultural organisations about the value of active ageing.
The project uses digital campaigns, open-access resources, and targeted communication activities to encourage more organisations to adopt its methodologies.
