Dancing in the Third Act

Watch “Private Moments” and “Roadkill” excerpts from the premiere performance of “Dancing in the Third Act” with The Company of Angels directed by Randy Glynn.

As the saying goes, “Old age is not for sissies”, and Glynn’s powerful and thoroughly engaging piece is certainly proof of that! Under the guidance of the award –winning Canadian choreographer, Randy Glynn, working with 12 performers – all untrained seniors ranging in age from 60 to 75 – he has created a visually dynamic full-length work that is a poignant, dramatic and powerful look at the ups and downs (literally) of aging. 12 untrained seniors bring their indefatigable strength and endurance to an intimate and playful piece.
