Event Details

Participatory Dance Piece

Take part in a community dance piece inspired by nature and the ground beneath our feet.

Join this fun and friendly project creating a large scale dance piece ‘Contours’ with choreographer Osian Meilir to be performed at Equinox Festival in Ross-on-Wye. No experience needed – we’ll guide you!

We’re arranging a mass participation movement piece inspired by nature and the ground beneath our feet, to be performed outdoors in Ross-on-Wye as part of Equinox Festival on Sat 23 September.

We’re working with Welsh choreographer Osian Meilir to curate the piece (their piece Qwerin featured in our 2022 festival,pictured above) and are basing it on the idea of creating a mandala with people – moving patterns in the landscape.

The performance will be around 15 minutes in length and we need 80-200 people to help us make it happen. You don’t need prior dance experience, you just need to be able to make certain movements in time with everyone else, to attend a rehearsal to learn what to do, and be able to perform outside as part of a group in Ross-on-Wye on the performance date.

What will you need to do?

  • Book a space on your preferred workshop date (a small group in Ross-on-Wye 14th Sept 6.30pm-9.30pm)
  •  Rehearse with everyone else on Saturday 16 September 10am-1pm in Ross-on-Wye
  • Perform in Ross-on-Wye on 23 September approx 3pm at the Equinox Festival
  • To book, email: jasmine.wyevalleyfest@gmail.com
