the hill i’ll die on this is the altar i worship at

the bandits might come take all the gold and

ViLLAGERS – a new dance-theatre work for the South West

Change comes to the village – but will this community move with it?

Exploring the magic of small communities and quandaries of belonging in a time of fractured society, ViLLAGERS combines dance, folk music and spoken word, inviting its audience to encounter the power and possibility of rural life.

Available for touring now. Please contact me for further information.
