Abstract

The Mind the Gap! portfolio documents an ongoing practice as research project investigating the socio-cultural impact of an intergenerational theatre collaboration between LSBU, the New York Theatre Workshop and the Southwark Playhouse Elder's company. The research focuses on two key questions: firstly the ethics of engaging different generations within an intergenerational practice and secondly, how we encounter theatre at the intersection of community and professional practice. Specifically, whether performances developed from this practice can exist as theatre with its own artistic validity rather than simply an extension of the community practice it is generated from.

The portfolio contains documentation relating to an ongoing practice-as-research applied theatre project. This comprises video material, participant evaluations, performance documentation and an article published in the International Youth Theatre Journal: Special Intergenerational Theatre edition
