GOOD FOR HER AGE
GOOD FOR HER AGE is an evening-length prodution that uses dance, performance art, film, live music, and audio to explore the challenges, grief and triumphs of four performers entering middle age. The voices and perspectives of local women are collected and recorded and lovingly incorporated in each regional performance.
Our production company, Four On the Floor, is based in the Pacific Northwest. Each artist has over 30 years of performance experience in various disciplines, with dance as our unifying practice. GOOD FOR HER AGE showcases our unique backgrounds while investigating central themes of aging, sexuality, and pertinence in our youth-focused culture and art community.
