Watch this space!

On Saturday 1st July, we brought our Souling workshops to the Rustic Music and Arts Festival in Dutton, sandwiched just between Northwich and Runcorn. This is a family friendly festival where kids and adults can watch bands, take part in poetry and circus workshops and performances and basically have lots of fun in a field!
Our workshops consisted of a big dressing up box to dress up as the characters, the chance to act out the original play script and a big sing-song to the two Souling songs.
We engaged with over 35 people thorughout the day including children and adults. It was great to see so many parents joining in with their children and getting into the spirit of the plays.
Also with us for the day was our sonic artist Wendy who was taking field recordings of the workshops and of the festival more generally to go into her composition.
