When the Shops Shut

By Caroline King - September 19, 2010Posted in : Dance, Theatre

When the Shops Shut When: 1st October 2010, 7.30pm

Where: SpArC, Bishop’s Castle SY9 5AY

£: 8 (children 5)

What is it?

When the shops are shut for good, when the shutters come down for the last time, when the final homes are bought up, what happens to communities then?  Cscape’s new show uses the company’s unique style of physical story telling to tell the tales of villages and the people who live in them.  A vivid blend of dance, theatre, film, poetry and music. Featuring the work of choreographers T.C Howard, Helen Tiplady and Sally Williams, the film work of Mark Jenkin and the poetry of Anna Maria Murphy and Murray Lachlan-Young.  Plus, curtain raiser by pupils from St George’s School Clun.
