Authentic, unique and full of vitality,
a special theatrical experience.
Liz Stevenson, Artistic Director, Theatre by the Lake.
A poetic, fun and extremely moving exploration of Julies running exploits on the Lakeland fells. Emphasising body-mind-spirit-place connections, the Dreamtime Fellrunner encounters themes of feminism, land rights, ageism and ableism, history and literature. It will appeal to anyone interested in wellbeing, connection of body and place and the ways which we inhabit our environments.
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.
Julie is an athlete with a physical disability in the form of a developmental disease of the spine. A successful author of poetry and creative non-fiction this is her first theatre show.
Presenting fellrunning as a type of land art and spiritual practice this is an aesthetic and unforgettable performance which allows people to experience the beauty of a wonderful sport, regardless of their degree of familiarity with the fells and running.Age: 14+Running Time: 60 mins, 15 interval, 20- 25 mins second
