:15:59. > :16:04.These three artists have a combined age of 199. Rather aptly, their

:16:13. > :16:20.am 66 years old. She spent luch of her youth dancing with the Paddy
:16:21. > :16:25.gaze English national ballet. If someone said I would be performing
:16:26. > :16:27.at 66 when I was 40, I would have thought they were mad but I would
:16:28. > :16:37.have grabbed the opportunitx with both hands. My name is Mich`el and I
:16:38. > :16:46.am 67 years old. This year he performed at Glastonbury and still
:16:47. > :16:48.run to own circus school. You can compensate the diminishing
:16:49. > :16:54.physicality with knowledge `nd experience. I am amazed that people

:17:58. > :18:03.show is about ageing and tile passing. I thought that was an
:18:04. > :18:07.important subject. I wanted to show the beauty of all the dancers and
:18:08. > :18:10.their experience and to look at the subject of ageing in a
:18:11. > :18:15.non`stereotypical, nonconventional way. You talked about their beauty.
:18:16. > :18:22.What else do they bring to the stage? Experience, openness, and
:18:23. > :18:27.actually they are experts in the subject. I don't know much `bout
:18:28. > :18:33.that age and they have brought back into the show, I hope. I have spent
:18:34. > :18:39.the day with these people who are double my age, I am 38. I h`ve been
:18:40. > :18:42.amazed by what they can do. It has inspired me and excites me `bout
