A film installation combining dance, nature and storytelling.

Our wild, untamed Yorkshire landscape is a place to feel beautifully insignificant and magnificently connected. Maybe it can inspire an idea of something wild. A chance to imagine things differently… a wild hope.

Drop in to this free video installation, showcasing work created by Yorkshire Dance’s Company of People and TC Howard. Audiences are invited to wander around the installation or simply sit & experience the film, which brings together dance, storytelling and creative captioning to explore the natural world and the folklore of Yorkshire.

The installation will run Friday 20 from 6.30-9.30pm, Sat 9.00-4.00, Sun 10.00-2.30pm.
