A Mindfell Production in association with the Theatre by the Lake
Written and performed by Julie Carter
Directed by Daniel Bye
The Dreamtime Fellrunner is a poetic, fun and moving exploration of Julie’s running exploits on the Lakeland fells.
Presenting fellrunning as a type of land art and spiritual practice this is an aesthetic performance which allows people to experience the beauty of a wonderful sport, regardless of their degree of familiarity with the fells and running.
Emphasising body-mind-spirit-place connections, the Dreamtime Fellrunner encounters themes of feminism, land rights, ageism and ableism, history and literature, while carrying us on a journey through the Lakeland fells.
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.
Running time: approx. 100 minutes (including interval)
Age guidance: 14+
