Strike a Pose was a pop up outdoor performance rolling out the red carpet for a cast of non-professional older adults as they harness the energy of catwalk and voguing culture, being bold, proud and absolutely extra. Commissioned by Yorkshire Dance for Ageless Festival 2022, and inspired by an idea from the formidable TC Howard, and inspirational octogenarians like Vivienne Westwood, Al Pacino and Tom Jones. The project brought together a group of fabulous older dancers from across to defy ageism and strut their stuff on the red carpet in various locations including Briggate and Kirkgate market.
