The Venus Flower and other stories

July 6th - 10th 2010, 7.30 pm Trebah Garden, Mawnan Smith

Tales of journeys, chillies and homecomings…
A hundred dancers
Exotic blooms and secrets in the foliage
Cooking and art
Round the world in an evening
A museum of the unexpected
Heart stopping music

“Renowned for their unique brand of Dance story telling, Cscape will be collaborating with a hundred dancers, young and old, writers, artists and musicians to tell the secret stories that are growing in Trebah gardens. Stories of flowers whose scents break hearts, plant hunters who travelled the world for rare blooms, homecomings and leavings, this will be a show to excite all your senses.”

Cscape will be creating a week of extraordinary site specific performance events at Trebah Gardens in early July 2010 to celebrate the Cultural Olympiad.  With 5 nights of stunning evening performances by Cscape’s team as well as 4 daytime programmes of activity produced by students from 35 schools and a Community Dance Company of 100 dancers.  The week long celebration, which is part of the Cultural Olympiad RELAYS programme, will take place the week of July 5th at the stunning site of Trebah Gardens, a wild sub-tropical ravine that magically stretches down a valley to the waters edge of the Helford Estuary.

Partners include Trebah Gardens, RELAYS, The Works, University College Falmouth, Creative Skills Consortium and FEAST.
