Are you over 50 and have a story to tell?
Join The Flames in Music Hall (The Big Sky Studio), Aberdeen
Tricky Hat Productions is welcoming people aged over 50 to join their performance company The Flames, to create a show that challenges pre-conceived ideas of how older people think and what they aspire to.

Previous participants said:
“Being a Flame re-awakened my adventurous spirit”
“Brilliant, it’s a real safe space to express yourself without judgment. Love the process and how it all unfolds.”
“It’s so important for older people to know that it’s never too late to try something new, it readjusts our place in the world.”
“The creative team has been brilliant, supportive, inclusive, insightful, and fun. They created an atmosphere of trust necessary to bring the best out of us.
“I trained as an actress and have always relied on other’s scripts. Now I need to write my own story”.
