This is an atmospheric multimedia show; words, music and film which celebrates the Dorset heritage of mackerel fishing and quarrying in Purbeck.

The Purbeck and Portland quarries and stone yards, and the seine fishing crews and mackerel on Chesilbeach are gone.

Experienced in words, cello and film. Audiences say that even when unconnected to Dorset, the stories seem familiar and resonate. The communities and fishing and stone industry heritages connect the past to the present and to the ecological future of our natural environment.

These everyday working lives and
industrial landscapes become mythical and universal as we remember them together.

Emily and Sarah share a common passion for sea and land, resulting in a haunting multitracked cello soundscape and dialogue between voice and cello.

The production was originally enabled through an Arts Council research & development grant.
The production has since developed apace and with a Sanctuary session at The Lighthouse Arts in Poole a trailer for the show was produced;

We look forward to performing this production Shaftesbury Arts Centre Friday 2nd October 7.30pm
The show is 75 minutes long including interval.
