This is how gorgeous it feels is a story of rediscovery and connection. This debut film work from Sheffield's first over 50s dance company Third Bite Dance invites the audience to celebrate new beginnings. Eleven dancers rejoice as they emerge from lockdown into full life. They reconnect to their bodies as they shift into new spaces, moving from small to big, from quiet to loud. The dancers are unapologetic, taking up space with dynamic movement accompanied with bold text in this fierce and joyful production.

With support and funding from Arts Council England and local charities Sheffield Town Trust and J G Graves Charitable Trust, Artistic Director and Choreographer Lucy Haighton led twelve online workshops to co-create this film, with guest artists Writer Andy Owen Cook and Sound Composer Richard Smithson. People aged 50+ in Sheffield and beyond were invited to contribute to the production through answering a series of Beautiful Questions about their relationship with their body, such as “if your body could talk when it dances, what would it say?”

This is how gorgeous it feels was filmed on location in the dancers' homes through their windows, in their gardens and in outdoor spaces in Sheffield by Filmmaker Aaron Howell.

Third Bite Dance is the performance company of 50+ Contemporary Dance Sheffield and defies expectations of the older body and celebrates the adventure of ageing and empowerment through movement and creativity.
