Echoes of Time | Documentary
Echoes of Time follows older adults in Sheffield as they share stories of ageing through art, music and performance.
Echoes of Time follows a vibrant and emotional journey of older adults who took part in participatory arts-based workshops at UTOPIA Theatre in Sheffield from September to December 2024.
Building on their earlier life history and go-along interviews, participants came together to share their stories of ageing in Sheffield through music, movement, poetry, story-telling and performance.
Facilitated by a team of talented artists from Utopia Theatre, the sessions fostered a safe, inclusive space for creativity, community and self-expression.
The documentary, produced by filmmaker Sean Lovell with support from Ai Narapol, captures this unique process culminating in the sharing event, where participants performed for friends and family, celebrating identity, memory and connection across generations.
