Track Changes Issue 4: Thinking Forward Through the Past 20 Making the Time of Our Lives: Unfinished Experimentations in Performing the Ageing Identity Bridie Moore (School of English) This article begins with an unfinished ending. After performing their own life courses in an energetic series of extended movement signatures in The Time of Our Lives (a work-in-progress and their first performance), the members of Passages Theatre Group walked slowly into a final line-up downstage, each clearly stating their age: Fifty Sixty-three Sixty-six Sixty-six Sixty-nine Seventy-one Seventy-four Seventy-nine Eighty-four. 1 The performance then ended as each individual began a yet-to-be-completed step, one left hanging in the air; an unfinished stride towards the future. This performance focussed on first memories, presenting these as foundational to identity; in it the possibility of the future was staged as continuous with the just performed, yet distant past. 1 Nine of Passages Theatre Group‟s 18 members performed at this showing of The Time of Our Lives at The University of Sheffield‟s Theatre Department on 3/12/12.
