Following a successful debut in 2023, On the Beach is on the road in 2024!
The workshop sparked thoughtful reflection and left us with a sense of joy and fulfilment. Thank you so much for providing such a memorable and impactful experience.
Yousuf Peshavaria, BPCA Service Manager, 2024
Made for older people living with dementias and their carers, this touring sensory show explores the myth and magic of the beach, and its rich history as a working space. The 2024 tour will see us visit arts venues, care homes, museums, theatres, and more, as we bring the beach to you.
The show is inspired by the history of beaches as a working environment, all the stories and practical skills from net-mending to boatbuilding, varnishing, fishmongering, sail-mending, knitting and gutting.
The meeting of the natural environment and human endeavour that has through the ages and across all civilisations taken place on beaches offers a plentiful sensory playground, ripe for participatory theatre made for and with older people.
Alongside the On the Beach performances, Spare Tyre also facilitate sensory workshops. These sessions are for people living with dementias and their carers to explore the themes of the show through reminiscence and interaction.
Why not check out the photos from our 2023 tour of On the Beach?
I absolutely loved the show and left feeling calmed and peaceful. A beautiful experience for anyone and one that allows those living with dementia to access and enjoy in different ways
