We’re a not-for-profit participatory arts organisation from Greater Manchester. We create podcasts, films and music theatre shows that bring people’s experience to life. You can find out more about us here.
We started working on Armchair Adventures in March 2020 with our theatre group of over 60s. Like many people, our community was suffering from isolation and loneliness because of lockdown. So, we wanted to create something that could boost wellbeing, be fun, and be able to be enjoyed by all of the family. Most importantly we wanted to design an experience that could be loved by anyone, at any time. Armchair Adventures was our response.
Each episode features the ideas, stories and voices of our over 60s theatre group.
In total, over 60 local older people and 25 local musicians, scriptwriters, producers, designers, filmmakers and actors make each series.
