Friday September 9th at 2pm at Herbert's Quarry, Mynydd Du/The Black Mountain, near Brynaman. Contact number will be given on registering with jesslerner66@gmail.com. this is a free event.
With an opportunity to join in with an improv afterwards, all disciplines welcome, i.e. movement, drawing, writing, sound, photography or even meditation.
We are working on a movement piece on a the ancient sea bed that forms a plateau high up on Y Mynydd Du, the Black Mountain near to Brynaman and Llangadog. A trio of seasoned women performers offer a historical, environmental journey and experience through movement. They use movement as a sculptural material which acknowledges their identity and sense of embodied imagination as mature women.
Through their simultaneous mapping of their interior landscape in connection with the exterior space, in the performance the dancers conjure up emotive scenarios and play out surreal connections. Responding to what is present in the moment; they draw out imaginative landscapes which are grounded in the details of the body.
It is fantastic to have Gaby visiting from London and Amy from Manchester.
Herbert’s Quarry is part of the Fforest Fawr UNESCO Global Geopark and a SSSI. This special place has stunning panoramic views, abandoned quarry pits and imagination.
This was made possible through funding for a dance Lawn project called New Ground/Tir Newydd of Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw. Thanks to Nia Roberts and Simon Whitehead for their work on that project.
