RepresentAge

A new project to raise awareness of the ways women are represented on stage and screen as they age. #RepresentAge

[RepresentAge @RepresentAge]

We're developing a piece of theatre exploring the representation of women as they age. It's based around the book Growing Old Gisgracefully written in the late 80s by 6 women over the age of 60. Thanks @ace_national for the funds!

BBC subjects older women to 'lookism' - female presenters not allowed to grow old gracefully like men are - says Libby Purves (@lib_thinks).

At the end of 2020, instead of 30 Under 30 and NextGen lists, please profile middle-aged people who just got their big breaks. I want to read about a mother of 2 who published her first novel, a director who released their first studio feature at 47, THAT'S THE LIST WE WANT.

It feels a bit like the conversation around ageing and ageism is starting to grow. 🤞🤞🤞We have been to a few events recently and it really is on people’s radar. Has anyone else found this?

@RepresentAge Thank you very much for coming. We hope these findings will help with your important work. Some surprising results that foreground age-related pressures in the industry.

“In interviews and focus groups older performers reported that they often felt stereotyped because of their age” @MakeAppearance @EquityWomen @RoyalHolloway #RepresentAge

[RepresentAge @RepresentAge]

“The Majority of respondents in every age category suggested that their age increased pressure on appearance”
