What is a neighbour? How do we care for one another, and how do we add to the community?
neighb.OURS aims to bring the personal and community stories of the seniors of Lions Befrienders Active Ageing Centre Tampines, Block 499C. Through weekly decasilver contemporary dance workshops (from March to September 2021), our seniors have discovered greater mobility and energy- in their physical movements, in their creative abilities, and in their kampung spirit.
This project has resulted in two creative creations: The first is a digital dance film that explores the idea of community and shared living, as well as graceful ageing and creative identity. The second is a visual arts installation in three locations around 499C with work inspired by and co-created by our seniors and the community, signifying communal strength, support, and shared bonds and secrets.
