Chris founded  ‘OldSkool Arts’

OldSkool Arts is a comprehensive arts organization that includes the Age Is A Stage (AIAS) theatre arts company. Founded in 2018, AIAS focuses on creating opportunities for live theatre and highlighting the essential role of theatre arts in promoting healthy ageing. Over the past six years, we have dedicated ourselves to expanding our work with Age Is A Stage theatre, which includes performances, workshops, and creating pieces that address the concerns of older adults. We are grateful for the support from the Creative Learning team at Brighton’s Theatre Royal and the Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham.

Our latest project, Laughter for Life, is funded by Ageing Well/Impact Initiative to offer workshops for the unwaged in the outskirts of Brighton and Hove.

Am loving clowning lessons, I think Chris is brilliant, terrifying but brilliant!
