Tending grief through Border Morris
News! I am developing a new project to explore how we can tend our grief through creativity. This time it is through the medium of dance. Specifically Border Morris. I am aiming to create a new Border Morris side in the North East and you are invited to get involved.
I am seeking folks who are interested in this idea and want to give it a go. People who want to dance, musicians, people with a passion for costume and theatrical make-up, Morris teachers and mentors, someone with a venue for us to practice in. Those with years of experience and those with none.
The one thing I ask is that you come open to the idea that this is a project for tending our grief.
The project has got its own page, so go there now to find out more
Why do I call my work Tending Three Magpies?
Are you familiar with the rhyme that starts 'one for sorrow, two for joy'? Well an older version started 'one for sorrow, two for mirth'. It's all about the tidings the magpies might bring. This was where I began in finding the name for my work.
