What is ‘age’? I realize that sounds like a stupid question, but depending on how you define the word, it can mean many different things. Depending on what end of the spectrum you look at the aging process from, it can appear frightening, exciting, dangerous, lousy, wonderful, or many other things. So why do we look at those of different ages with such judgement?
Ageism is one of the last ‘isms’ not being discussed very widely in contemporary society - and we wanted to figure out why. Why do we assume those vastly younger and those vastly older than us are less capable? Why are so many elderly people taken advantage of, abused, ignored, and lonely? Why do we spend our entire adolescence waiting for society to finally recognize us as this ever elusive thing known as an ‘adult’, only to find that the moment we achieve that status, we suddenly long for our younger years because maturity has lost its shine? What prevents us from being comfortable or satisfied with our aging process? Is it all just a fear of death? Is it all just a form of denial that we too came from ignorance and we too will one day die? That’s a lot of questions. It is a BIG topic. We know. Getting Old Sucks started from a conversation about how age affects our behavior and our physicality. As physical performers we constantly talk about the timelines of our bodies, the time we have left before our instrument begins to break down - signaling the decline of our careers. A circus artist or a dancer doesn’t have to quit at 30, but the hurdles certainly start to stack up. Injuries become lasting, pains are more intense, fatigue sets in earlier and lingers longer. What does that look like in 30 MORE years? We wanted to explore the idea that what we do professionally is inherently temporary, that our careers will need to take a turn at some point. Accepting that is part of every mover’s career, and in many ways, every human’s journey. Accepting that gracefully is a thing only a fraction of people do. But we hope this process will bring us and you closer to an understanding, or at least an awareness. As we continue to develop story, text, and choreography, this project continues to spark conversations about death, financial hardship, pregnancy, injury, families, history, and so much more. Writing in detail about all the topics ageism affects would fill a bookshelf. Even after nearly 2 years of development, I’m still not certain I have any final answers about my own aging process, but I do have a renewed sense of respect for those both older and younger than me. I hope this show can communicate that, and if we’re lucky, spread it beyond our audiences. I’m grateful to have been able to work with such a giving group of people from such a large range of ages and life experiences. This work would not exist without them - and where it goes from here? Well… que será, será. -Scott Scott Dare is one of the directors of Getting Old Sucks. Getting Old Sucks is a new danztheatre work that explores what aging means and looks like. This work has been in the making for nearly two years. Mark your calendars and get your tickets. February 22 - March 3 Friday & Saturday, 8pm Sunday, 3pm

I was in pains and called my best friend explained my problem to my her and she suggested that I should contact Dr Jumba that his spell never fail he will help me cast a spell to bring h back Husband, I was once the type that never believed in spell until Dr Jumba prove his powers to me and showed me wonders. I contacted Dr Jumba, and he told me that there was no problem, that everything will be okay, that my Husband will return to me once he's done casting the spell, surprisingly on the second day, it was about 4 p. m. My ex called me, I was so surprised, and answered the call and all he said was that he was sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted us to put our differences outside, that he loves me so much. I was so happy. That was how we started living together happily again.

This is a true life experience with Doctor Odunga who helped me save my marriage from jeopardy. My name is Kimberly Fillmore and I am from US A. I and my husband have been married for over 6 years. We didn't have any children. My husband was not happy with this because we have tried for many years now to have a child that we thought of adopting but the idea wasn't the best for us. So I resorted to the search for spell casters. I contacted 2 different spell casters and I never got my desire nor my solution. My time, effort and energy became a wasted issue on it but months later, I met Doctor Odunga through a testimony written by a woman named Clara about how Doctor Odunga helped her get her ex husband back to her and I decided to give this man a try to see what comes out of it. After meeting with him, I explained everything to him and he told me not to worry. I am very happy to say that within a week of contact, I conceived and became pregnant. Before my contact with Doctor Odunga, my husband has been against anything I do but now he is very happy with me and takes care of me. Please contact and meet Doctor Odunga if you are passing through any difficulty in life at [email protected] .

Nowadays scammers are all over the world. It all began with a seemingly innocent message from a broker on Instagram, enticing me with promises of high returns and financial freedom through crypto trading. Intrigued by the prospect, I delved deeper into the company's workings, reassured by the broker's smooth-talking and constant guidance. With each phone call and interaction, I felt a sense of trust growing, convinced that I had found a reliable partner in my journey toward financial prosperity.

Despite my diligence and cautious optimism, I soon discovered the bitter truth – I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam, orchestrated by cunning fraudsters who preyed upon the unsuspecting. The realization hit me like a sledgehammer, shattering my illusions of security and stability.

Desperate for a lifeline, I embarked on a quest for justice, determined to reclaim what was rightfully mine.

I was a victim of online scam. Fake people posing as bitcoin investors and I lost a sum of 19 BTC from my bitcoin wallet. I was on the verge of bankrupcy and this made me depressed and sad. I was desperately in need of help. I did my research online, I saw a couple of reviews on google but I didn't manage to get help. I was almost giving up when I came across comments recommending (wizardhiltoncybertech) and saw great reviews online and I contacted them through [email protected]. They helped me recover all that I had lost within 72 hours and also revealed the identities of the perpetrators. For anyone in a similar situation, lost of fund or bitcoins wallet, spying on partner's phone, credit score increase, 100% change of grades, reach out to wizardhiltoncybertech(@)gmail.com they will help you get access to any information contact and recommend them.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

After graduating and landing my first job, I quickly realized that my salary wasn't sufficient to cover all my bills and living expenses. Despite my best efforts to budget wisely, it became clear that I needed a side hustle to supplement my income. After considerable research into various options, I decided to delve into cryptocurrency trading, specifically focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The appeal of cryptocurrency trading was its potential for high returns and the flexibility it offered. I could trade at any time of the day, fitting it around my full-time job. I began by educating myself about the basics of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and market trends. Online resources, forums, and tutorial videos became my go-to learning tools. Initially, I started small, investing a modest $10,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum to get a feel for the market. The volatility was intimidating at first, but I quickly learned to navigate the ups and downs by keeping a close eye on market news and trends. I also joined several online communities where experienced traders shared insights and strategies, which proved invaluable. As I gained more confidence and knowledge, I increased my investments and began to see significant returns. My initial $10,000 investment in Bitcoin grew remarkably, eventually being worth $350,000. This incredible growth of $340,000 in my Bitcoin investment demonstrated the potential profitability of the cryptocurrency market. Ethereum also provided substantial returns, further boosting my overall earnings. Bitcoin and Ethereum, being the most established and widely traded cryptocurrencies, offered numerous opportunities for profit. I developed a disciplined approach, setting clear goals and limits to manage my risks effectively. The extra income from my successful trades allowed me to cover my bills, pay off some debts, and even start saving for the future. It also gave me a sense of financial independence and security that I hadn't felt before. However, the journey wasn't without its challenges. At a family gathering, I lost my phone, which contained access to my Bitcoin wallets. Losing access to these wallets was a significant setback, as they held a substantial portion of my investment. It served as a harsh reminder of the importance of having secure backup methods for accessing digital assets. Fortunately, a colleague recommended the Digital Web Recovery tool. This service was instrumental in helping me regain access to my Bitcoin wallets. The recovery process was efficient and secure, restoring my confidence in managing my digital assets. Their professional support ensured I could retrieve my investments without further loss. Overall, cryptocurrency trading proved to be an effective and lucrative side hustle for me. It required dedication, continuous learning, and a willingness to take calculated risks. The experience not only improved my financial situation but also broadened my understanding of financial markets and investment strategies. Website https://digitalwebrecovery.com

I lost $303,450 with a fake crypto investor. I am Kenneth Brown and here is my story. Of course, they advise us to do a good background check before deciding where and when to invest. But they entirely forget that the scammers have a "clean" background record. So you will find all the good reviews and ads about them when you research. Mine was no different. They looked legit, and I made my deposits, plus more deposits when chasing my withdrawals. I reached my limit and knew I had to get my money back no matter what. I did some deep searching and finally decided to try out SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY. And guess who had their total investment money back in approximately 20 hours? The good thing about this hacker is that they only require the transaction information and the hacker's address, and everything else is on them until the money is fully back. Reach them by email: (swiftrecoveryservice006 @gmail .com) or WhatsApp number: +1 (786) 684‑0501. Or Telegram: @SWIFT_HACKING.

EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL SPELL CASTER ONLINE... This has really worked and I am proud to testify of it. I saw a post on how a lady got her man back by Dr. Happy . My Husband and I have been separated for 3 years and some months. Although I never believed in spiritual work I reluctantly tried him because I was desperate and his spell worked perfectly. My man is back and now my relationship is now perfect just as Dr. Happy promised me when I contacted him for help . Getting your ex back permanently does not only bring back someone you love back, but it will also re-ignite your lover’s feelings for you to be as happy with that person as possible. My man now treats me like a queen and always says he loves me all the time. If you are going through difficulties in your relationship Email him for urgent help.
