Stereotypes and prejudices about different generations are under the spotlight in the latest creative work by Footscray performers Sarah Ward and Bec Matthews.
The pair have created an online experience for this year’s Victorian Seniors Festival, delivering musical performance ‘The Conversation’, based upon the spontaneous encounter of two friends of quite different ages.

Victorian seniors can visit the performance online, alongside an eclectic range of video and radio programs as part of this year’s festival.
