There will be a house-style for every interaction and a script for each piece of performance, but the performers react totally in the moment using pre-created dialogue options. A work in progress sharing, Welcome To The Home, was staged at the Southbank Centre’s (b)OLD Festival in 2018.Ĭhristopher Green’s working method in creating his experiential work is to make the work both scripted and immersive. This has drawn a large number of parties together to explore the issues raised by the idea. The Home has had two periods of research and development, funded by Arts Council England. Lots to do! Or you can keep yourself to yourself. Rated excellent by the Care Quality Commission – best in its price range. It’s a chance for you to be really looked after – and to give everyone else a break. These will be the Saturday afternoon Bingo, the Saturday night Talent Show, the Sunday morning Non-Denominational Worship, and Sunday afternoon Open Day. There will also be four ‘shows’ across the weekend lasting 90 minutes which people can buy tickets for. They will help provide meals and care and join in with activities in return for watching what goes on. There are many people who want to come and observe this project so each day we will invite up to 20 stakeholders in the sector to come and work as volunteers. They will have their own room, treatment regime, entertainment and wellbeing programme as well as dedicated key-workers providing their care. This innovative new work will see 30 people coming to stay in the theatrical care home for the entire weekend.

It will challenge a culture that pushes vulnerability into a corner through a prescription of jokes, songs, three meals a day and en-suite facilities.

This theatre piece aims to transform the fear of ageing and vulnerability into a celebration of the triumph of getting old. Christopher Green explores the care home as a place of reinvention and possibility for this hidden community of care workers and elders. It’s an opportunity to experience the pleasures and problems of being cared for in a communal setting.
