Join us for a live outdoor performance work created with – and within – the landscape of Bollihope, a place of outstanding beauty and rich industrial history. Bollihope is near Frosterley and Stanhope in County Durham.

Digging into the stories buried in the belly of this unique man-made landscape, five artists take to its hills on Sunday 13 September, revealing a curious alchemy of music, dance, image, and the pull of the wind itself. There are two performances, 1pm and 3.30pm, which last approximately 45 minutes and takes place entirely outdoors.

Please bring a blanket or camping chair to settle onto the spoil heap and, most importantly, a pair of binoculars to catch the performance up high. The terrain and the route from the car park to the performance area can be viewed here.

Esther Huss is a contemporary dance artist who regularly collaborates with visual artist Claudia Sacher and sound artist Jeremy Bradfield, and is joined for this performance by dance artist Aki Iwamoto and musician John Pope. This commission, awarded a grant by the North Pennines National Landscape team, sees the five artists reimagine our landscape through dance, sound and visual art.

There is an optional donation of £3. Your donation enables the North Pennines National Landscape team to protect and restore this special place and help people connect with nature.
