Event description
A Mindfell Production in Association with the Theatre by the Lake
The Dreamtime Fellrunner
Thursday 13 February, 7.30pm, £10 / £8 (conc) / £6 (students)
A poetic, fun and moving exploration of running in the Lakeland fells.
Presenting fellrunning as a type of land art and spiritual practice this is an aesthetic performance which allows people to experience the beauty of a wonderful sport, regardless of their degree of familiarity with the fells and running.
Emphasising body-mind-spirit-place connections, the Dreamtime Fellrunner encounters themes of feminism, land rights, ageism and ableism, history and literature, while carrying us on a journey through the Lakeland fells.
The show consists of 60 minutes of immersive performance supported by a soundscape with original music. The shorter, more relaxed second-half features opportunities for discussion and reflection on our personal sources of beauty and connection, whatever they are.
In particular it will appeal to anyone interested in wellbeing, body-mind connection and the ways in which we inhabit our environments.
Written and performed by Julie Carter, Directed by Daniel Bye.
“Authentic, unique and full of vitality, a special theatrical experience.”
Liz Stevenson, Artistic Director, Theatre by the Lake.
