Just before the pandemic hit Age Exchange began sharing practice and exchanging ideas for collaboration with the renowned Hong Kong Theatre Director and film maker Hoi-fai Wu, who is currently focusing his work on the subject of end of life care. Sadly David Savill Artistic Director of Age Exchange was unable to travel to Hong Kong to work with Fai. So instead Fai asked to record an interview with David to discuss his experience of reminiscence theatre, and the practice and ethics of reminiscence arts. The filmed interview will be used to support learning in the field of documentary theatre and end of life care in Hong Kong. It can be viewed here
