Chain Stories (2020 - 2022) Work in Progress
This is a site specific, interactive visual and performance art work project taking place in the Bumblehole and Warrens Hall Nature Reserve in Netherton.
This area was known for its ironwork and chain making from approximately the mid-1400s to 1970s. The project will follow the lives of the people who interacted with the iron and chain made in the Black Country. It will follow the chains and who they came into contact with as they journey from the earth, to the forge, along the canals, across the sea to Africa, then the Caribbean and back across to the UK and the Black Country – it will show the region as the beating heart, pumping iron around the commonwealth and back to the region, and all the positive and negative aspects that went with it.
As a part of this project we are expanding our collaboration with Conceptions Dance Theatre Grenada and NOYAM/Ghanaian National Dance Ensemble.
As a part of this project we will be delivering pop up performances and workshops along the Canal from Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham to Netherton during June 2021.
