8 d. ago A new start after 60: I became a dancer at 68 – and will perform my first solo show at 82

Christine Thynne was nervous about going to her first dance class. But at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe she will be on stage alone, doing all the ‘things I shouldn’t be doing’At 82, Christine Thynne is an emerging artist. “Risk! There’s a colossal amount of risk,” Thynne says. She is about to perform her show, These Mechanisms, over three weeks at the Edinburgh fringe. While “emerging” isn’t a word often applied to artists in their 80s, Thynne says the description is appropriate. “I wasn’t there before,” she says. “I wasn’t a solo performer.”Thynne’s show melds aspects of her life – she trained as a physiotherapist in the 1960s – along with other passions.

He did the obvious thing: went and got a pair of three-month-old Siberian husky puppies: Loki and Freja, brother and sister – also with piercing eyes, but icy blue, especially Loki’s. “People would just stop on the street as he walked by.”Chris had owned dogs before– labradors. “I figured that huskies were labradors with fur coats on,” he says, talking to me from his pickup truck after an early morning paddle in his kayak. “They absolutely are not.” Continue reading...
