This proposal aims to assess the cultural value of older people's participation in theatre making. It will do so through a participatory action research approach, framed by a perspective which places emphasis on the skills, abilities and capacities of older people rather than automatically framing ageing as 'a problem to be solved' in contemporary society. The proposal is inspired by our interdisciplinary 'Ages and Stages' project, which has consisted of two related but distinct phases. The first phase (October 2009-July 2012, funded by the NDA programme) explored representations of age and ageing in the Victoria/New Vic Theatre's social documentaries and the role that theatre has played in the lives of local older people. Archival and qualitative data was brought together in the final year of the project to create a new verbatim social documentary performance, 'Our Age, Our Stage', exploring ageing, intergenerational relations and the role the theatre has played - and continues to play - in the creative life of the people of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. The second phase (August 2012-July 2013, funded by the AHRC follow-on scheme) has focused on translational work, including evolving the original 'Ages and Stages' group into the 'Ages and Stages Company' and devising an interactive, forum theatre piece about intergenerational relationships - Happy Returns. Both phases have been documented through film, ethnographic notes and diary keeping. The proposed case study of 'Ages and Stages' will involve undertaking secondary analysis of existing research materials and developing the 'Ages and Stages Company' into a 'company of researchers', who will work with us to identify - and to show through live performance - the cultural value of what they have been involved in. Company members will engage in a series of recorded research discussions with each other (both one-to-one and group) exploring their experiences of Ages and Stages; the impacts it has had on themselves; and on others (e.g. their families; friends; the younger people they have performed with). Arising out of these discussions, the Company will then select and agree the issues to be developed into a new, short, piece to be performed before Christmas 2013 to invited audiences of practitioners, policy makes and academic colleagues. The performance/s will be filmed and turned into a DVD.In the New Year, the Company will come back together to co-evaluate the research process. These sessions will also be digitally recorded, transcribed and analysed and, together with the secondary analyses of existing research materials, will form the basis for the final report. An invited workshop (including members of the Advisory Group) will conclude the project in May 2014. The piece will be performed at this workshop as a stimulus to further discussions about the cultural value of theatre making with, and for, older people and, if awarded, the workshop will also include findings from the proposed linked Critical Review on 'Ageing, Drama and Creativity'.

本提案旨在评估老年人参与戏剧制作的文化价值。它将通过一种参与性行动研究方法来实现这一目标，这种方法的框架是强调老年人的技能、能力和能力，而不是自动将老龄化视为当代社会中“一个有待解决的问题”。该方案的灵感来自我们跨学科的“年龄和阶段”项目，该项目由两个相关但不同的阶段组成。第一阶段（2009年10月至2012年7月，由NDA项目资助）探讨了维多利亚/新维克剧院的社会纪录片中对年龄和老龄化的表现，以及戏剧在当地老年人生活中所扮演的角色。在项目的最后一年，档案和定性数据被汇集在一起，创造了一个新的逐字社会纪录片表演，“我们的时代，我们的舞台”，探索老龄化，代际关系以及剧院在特伦特河畔斯托克和北斯塔福德郡人民的创造性生活中所扮演的角色。第二阶段（2012年8月至2013年7月，由AHRC后续计划资助）的重点是翻译工作，包括将原来的“年龄和阶段”小组发展为“年龄和阶段公司”，并设计一个关于代际关系的互动论坛戏剧作品-快乐回报。这两个阶段都通过电影、民族志笔记和日记记录下来。拟议的“年龄与阶段”案例研究将涉及对现有研究材料进行二次分析，并将“年龄与阶段公司”发展为“研究人员公司”，他们将与我们一起确定并通过现场表演展示他们所参与的文化价值。公司成员将彼此进行一系列记录的研究讨论（包括一对一和小组讨论），探讨他们在年龄和阶段的经历；它对他们自己的影响；对其他人（例如他们的家人、朋友、和他们一起表演的年轻人）。在这些讨论的基础上，公司将选择并同意将这些问题发展成一个新的、短的作品，在2013年圣诞节前向从业者、政策制定者和学术同事的受邀观众演出。演出将被拍成DVD。在新的一年里，公司将一起回来共同评估研究过程。这些会议也将以数字方式记录、转录和分析，并与对现有研究材料的二次分析一起，构成最终报告的基础。邀请研讨会（包括咨询小组成员）将于2014年5月结束该项目。该作品将在本次研讨会上表演，作为对老年人戏剧创作文化价值的进一步讨论的刺激，如果获奖，研讨会还将包括拟议的“老龄化，戏剧和创造力”相关评论的研究结果。
