The Dance Hall
Step into the fragmented and poignant world of "The Dance Hall," an innovative solo performance exploring dementia's emotional landscape. Inspired by Steven Millar’s five years in a high-needs dementia care home, this piece navigates moments of humor, awkwardness, and profound connection. With a non-linear narrative reflecting disjointed memories, and a minimalist setup featuring a chair, a performer, and an amplifier, Steven crafts an immersive soundscape blending live and recorded audio. This raw and intimate performance fosters empathy and understanding, offering a deeply human exploration of memory, connection, and the impact of dementia.
