With Pioneer, which explored the moments humans first landed on Mars, we worked with care home residents to recollect their memories of the moon landings – the last time humans attempted a feat of putting humans onto other worlds. With Spindrift, which explored sailing as a metaphor for Quantum Biology, we took a group of 15 80+ year old residents sailing on the Norfolk broads in collaboration with the Nancy Oldfield Trust. Our previous work with care homes can be characterised as disruptive, unusual and fearless. curious directive team involved in ARCH: • Natalie Songer - General Manager, curious directive 2018-2022 • Jack Lowe - Artistic Director, curious directive www.curiousdirective.com
