This anthology is based on interviews with The Broadway Blazers. We are based at The Broadway Theatre, Catford but during lockdown, we took to Zoom, where the idea for ‘Through The Looking Glass’ was born. Each week we would explore what the group was missing during Covid-19, as well as their experiences of lockdown, childhood, family, and the music they’ve loved and still listen to. During the process, the theme of the absence of touch arose and became central to the film. At each weekly Zoom session, the group learned a dance sequence I had choreographed, however they only rehearsed the full routine once, prior to filming. Our oldest performer, who doesn’t have access to Zoom, learned it on the day.
