About Time Dance Company, Longways / Crosswise, 2018, Silverdale Lots

Longways & Crosswise is an immersive, outdoor site-specific dance performance taking place on the coastline of Morecambe Bay. Inspired by David Cox's provocative paintings of the crossings, join a cast of professional dancers and local participants as we imagine the stories and tales of those that once crossed the sands in the last of the light. Commencing an hour before sunset, together the audience and performers will witness the phenomenal transformation of the Bay at day’s end.

“ In its time, Morecambe Bay has seen drama, tragedy, artistry and not a few spectacular sunsets. Bundle all these aspects together into a one-hour dance performance and you have the essence of this breathtakingly beautiful production played out on the grassland between Silverdale village and its shoreline. It’s the creation of Lancaster-based choreographer Jenny Reeves, from the city’s About Time dance company, and choreology student Ellen Jeffrey. They have marshalled seven professional dancers, and 14 local participants, for just three performances of a dance piece that is part of Morecambe Bay Partnership’s current series of arts events.” - The British Theatre Life & - Lancashire Life
