From June - November 2023, we received Project funding from Arts Council England, and additional support from FEAST and Cornwall Council to bring together a brilliant team of experienced artists and researchers to develop a new movement-led interdisciplinary performance work together, here in remote, rural Cornwall, UK.
Our process included open research events in village halls and community spaces, at the Museum of Cornish Life, at Kestle Barton, with Mullion School, at CAST and out on the South West Coast Path around Lizard Point, at Poltesco and Gunwalloe, involving more than 100 co-researchers of all ages, as well as focused R&D and rehearsal time with our creative team (see below).
Our first public performances took place on Saturday 18th November 2023. Thanks to everyone that made these shows possible, and supported in many and varied ways, including: AMATA, The Bookshop in Helston, CAST, Epworth Hall, The Exchange, Helston Theatre Company, Inner Space Newlyn, Kestle Barton, Lizard Reading Room, Minack Theatre, Mullion School, Shallal, SHARP, Theo Carter-Weber, TRELYA, Trevow Helston & our fantastic team of volunteers.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (2023)
Deep Time Moving brings together dance and geology in a playful exploration of place and environment: how might an embodied imagining of the distant past help us to imagine new futures?
"Expect sounds from out on the cliffs and under the Atlantic Ocean, costumes fit for the walking holidays of your dreams, atmospheric lighting, and exquisite movement inspired by rocks, water and rural rituals. Some spoken word and printed resources are integrated, referencing geological stories: histories of the ground beneath our feet...."
