Durham in Blue

On 22 May 2025, Alzheimer’s Society – County Durham, in partnership with Durham University and the Balbir Singh Dance Company, presented A Trail of Blue – a city-wide awareness event aimed at highlighting the impact of Alzheimer’s through artistic and sensory experiences.

Held during twilight, known as the "blue hour", the event featured a series of pop-up performances incorporating light, dance, music and blue-themed props. These performances invited the public to pause, reflect, and connect with the theme of memory and the lived experience of dementia.
