RAG N BONE Travelling Show
By The Northern Lands Collective
A travelling micro festival of creative activities will be coming to Littleborough, Smallbridge, Milnrow and Wardle for a series of creative performances and activities on the weekend of the 28th and 29th September all on the back of a horse and cart.
Come and witness something unique as the Northern Land Collective hosts an extravaganza of performances, spoken word, and visual art right in your town centres. We are bringing art to you, directly into your community to celebrate the joys of traditional and contemporary creativity can bring.
Over the weekend the horse and cart will slowly make its way to each of the locations along the roadside, we recommend waiting for us in the designated locations. Both days will have different performers, so you are welcome to join us for free in more than one location.
Rag n Bone will feature performances from both new and renowned artists such as dialect poet and balladeer, Jennifer Reid, rapper and dancer, Micah Stalgic, local poet, Seamus Kelly and contemporary dance troupe, Company Chameleon and more..
No need to book, just look out for our arrival to your centres.
Please note that horses are sensitive and need to be left alone to rest during the creative activities and while they are working, we hope you enjoy what we, the humans, have put on for you, and we can also give you an in cite in creative opportunities to come in your local areas.
