I REMEMBER…

Running Time: 65mins approx.

Produced by Joe INK
a Firehall Arts Centre Presentation

Combining dance, storytelling, and video in an emotional, amusing and relatable reflection on aging, this Joe INK production is inspired by choreographer Joe Laughlin’s memories and lessons learned from 40 years as a dancer. His message – to keep moving and to remember… you are never too old to do what you love.

“I still feel the same way I always have, inside. I still love dancing even though my body and physical ability is on the decline… and I’m barreling towards the end, quite literally! It’s the slow slide of your body into your 60’s and beyond.” Joe Laughlin

At age 63, Laughlin is a senior Canadian artist who’s been performing for over 40 years and this piece is an exploration of a dancer’s aging body and how that informs his art now and into the future. Joe is remembering his life in dance, competitive gymnastics, working in South Africa, Move It! and the many talented artists he has worked with over the years. Lots of memories and life lessons communicated in a highly personal and authentic way. This show will inspire everybody to continue moving forward and remember… you are never too old to do what you love.

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
