Getting old is a journey that takes a lifetime. It can be a surprise to find that your body has changed in so many ways but you still feel the same inside. Life Class is a joyful and sometimes serious look at the ageing body and the changes that happen to us as we age.

A chorus of 35 older local people will accompany 6 professional actors and musicians as they sing songs, tell stories and cavort their way through the truth and beauty of getting older. Join us at the Loading Bay for 75 minutes of older people showing off their best bits.

509 Arts is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Our creative work is inspired by people and place. We thrive on open conversations and so we talk, we listen, we share ideas and then we make things happen. We are committed to the people we work with and to creating outstanding projects in sustainable ways. We use words and music, image and movement to describe the poetry of place and time. We are never predictable; we are always relevant. We sometimes work on big stages, sometimes in small spaces. Sometimes outdoors in the rain and sometimes in the darkness of a studio theatre. We have made books, operas, cabarets, epic monologues and digital playgrounds. We have dismantled cars, built giant bicycle wheels and taken audiences on walks through the woods at dusk. Pigeon holes are not for us.
