Re: Wolstonbury Hill Performance Journey, 8th and 9th October 2011 by Andy B on Tuesday, 04 October 2011

Some more specific links for booking:

Environmental arts group Red Earth brings 'CHALK' - a new commission that celebrates the South Downs becoming a National Park - to Wolstonbury Hill, with music, performance and spectacle centred around a specially constructed ring of coppiced greenwood.

CHALK is an atmospheric and immersive 2-hour journey across the land that includes an extraordinary performance of movement and imagery from Japanese butoh artist Atsushi Takenouchi in a soundscape of horn, bell, and bronze.

Plus local choirs, led by Polina Shepherd and Jack Cryer, bring together voices from the South Downs and the Russian Steppes, as the land resonates with the sound of Mongolian 'Long song' from Badamkhorol Sandandamba.

Join RED EARTH to explore the archaeology and ecology of the South Downs: visit two site-specific installations, and come and be part of the performance journeys across these two stunning landscapes.


How do we really get to know a place? We can drive to it; take a bus, walk, cycle, ride or run. But how would it feel to travel through layers of geological and archaeological time, to feel and taste the ecology of the land, uncover its hidden worlds through sound and performance? What would it feel like to be truly immersed in the landscape?

RED EARTH invites you to become collaborators with the land: walking it, navigating it, building, singing and performing it, leading to new encounters with the natural world and the forces that shape it.
