Happiness
Project Happiness is the slow R&D of a new dance theatre work which combines the memories & stories of the Arun & Adur communities, creatively inviting residents aged 1-100+ to explore ‘What makes you happy?’ Through partnering with local community groups to deliver workshops, in-studio R&D & working with an intergenerational community cast, this project aims for the public to take part in creative activity, bringing communities & generations together where there is less art & culture.
Project Happiness is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

'Happiness through a lifetime' is a new dance theatre show developed as part of Project Happiness funded by Arts Council England. 'Happiness through a lifetime' is a joyful and nostalgic exploration of how happiness changes and deepens with age, performed and created with an intergenerational cast of professional and non-professional dancers aged 7-75. This show combines contemporary dance, tap, and theatre with original music by Lucy Tapper, a toe tapping exploration of what it means to be happy leaving you laughing, smiling, and reminiscing.
