Dynamic Dunescapes

On August 30th, join our Cumbria Wildlife Trust team for short workshop with singer Jo Wade and artist Irene Rogan and take part in a sound performance on the dunes.

All welcome. No experience necessary.

Join the workshop at 12-1pm, and take part in and perform on the dunes later in the day (2–3 pm) alongside musicians, artists and drummers.

Restoration Remix is a sound performance taking place at the dunes in Haverigg, performed by Neil and Jo Wade musician and singer, Dave Baker acoustic drummer, Irene Rogan environmental artist and singer songwriter Hannah Rose Kessler. Local residents and visitors are offered an opportunity to participate and contribute to the work.

The sound performance and singing is inspired by William Blakes poem Auguries of Innocence, a poem on mankind and nature, the poet proffers the argument that the natural world can be regenerated in time and that nature itself can be an augury to the lost vision of innocence. The phrasing of the title is the strongest example of this theme, for here, the word “innocence” signifies man in the unfallen state.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour
