What do we do ?
|
We perform morris dances collected early this century from
Cotswold villages such as Adderbury, Bledington and Bampton, and Lichfield in
Staffordshire (see the Gallery).
|
| We dance throughout the summer from May 1st, on Wednesday evenings at village pubs around East
Berkshire, and at weekends at fairs, fetes, carnivals and other
local celebrations. |
|
| We run an Introductory Workshop at the
end of September (see below). |
| We practice from October to April, also on Wednesdays
(see below). |
| We perform a Mummers' Play each Boxing
Day - a hero combat play representing death and rebirth, drawn from
a centuries-old tradition. |
| We have also been known to wassail marrows and apples. |
|
Want to know more?
| Just turn up at one of our practices, 8:30pm every Wednesday from October
to April in the Scout Hut at Pinkneys Green (Ring us if you need
directions). We welcome those with
any degree of interest,
but especially potential new dancers or musicians.
