Mike Pearson, convenor for the performance, introduces the piece to the audience

Museum Pieces is a suite of short choreographies inspired by visual art and artists and designed to be performed in museums and galleries: sequences of actions, interactions, compositions, sculptural forms that echo and challenge the artworks around them.

Good News from the Future (GNFTF) is a group of performers over 55 years of age that brings together pioneering physical theatre practitioners, a clutch of people who haven't performed for a long time, and some people who’ve only just started. It celebrates the wisdom of mature selves, the experience of older bodies and the adventurousness of time-travelled heads.

Performers: Gilly Adams, Pat Adams, Hilary Beckett, Steve Bowkett, Anna Brazier, Jill Greenhalgh, Annie Grove-White, Phil Harris, Linda James, Miranda James, Jill Kirkpatrick, Yvette Vaughan Jones, Anthony Ollmant, Jennie Pickstone, Shirley Stansfield, Simon Thorne.
