Saturday 9.45-11.00: Egyptian Folkloric Style
We'll be learning a dance style from the Said region (Saidi meaning upper Egypt) with its grounded, earthy roots. We will be incorporating sticks/canes as a prop! This is a lively dance style and fun to learn!
Saturday 11.30-12.45: Indian Dance
Come and experience both classical Indian dance and bhangra. We'll explore hand gestures known as "mudras" and get our shoulders bouncing and feet moving to the bhangra beat!
Sunday 12.45-14.00: Maypole Dancing
In 1881 John Ruskin introduced maypole dancing utilising ribbons to Whitelands College in London, This college was set up to train teachers, initially all women, and these became emissaries for maypole dancing as they fanned out across the country's primary schools. So it is that today we generally associate maypole dancing with schoolchildren. However, I invite people of all ages who are capable of following some relatively straightforward instructions to revel in the joys of maypole dancing in an unselfconscious manner.
The workshop will be outside in good weather. Please meet in the hall by the stage or ask a steward where the workshop will be.
Sunday 14.00-15.15: Unlocking the Word Hoard
This will be a story telling workshop for beginners. More details to follow.
Monday 9.45-11.00: Broken Shells
Daisy Black tells a haunting, visceral, occasionally funny tale that will whirl round your senses, lace your tongue with salt and take you across the sapphire-worked seas to walk with the creatures at the far edges of the map. This gripping story is set among the eddies and currents of medieval romance, classical mythology and English folk song; a one-woman show not to be missed.
Monday 11.30-12.45: Singing Shanties
Steve will be teaching some traditional unaccompanied Sea Shanties as well as explaining how shanties were used and a bit of the history behind them. All are welcome to join in with singing and even some of the work they were used for! No previous experience required.
