Pete Ashton took some fabulous TAKE; a dance in the park photos through his viewfinder lens and posted on Pete's flickr account.
They have a wonderful aged quality to them. I think what resonates for me is that this piece started by viewing old archive photos of performances in the Quarry park a century ago (you can see some in the Sepia exhibition in Theatre Severn Chapel Bar, on til 12th September). They seem to have a similar quality about them, and connects us with the past even more. Almost like we've come full circle.
I wonder how people in the future will view our descriptions and catalogue of the festival.
In fact, Shropshire Archives will be storing a treasure box of our gathered thoughts for permanent record. It's a real honour. You should have a forage yourself, they open again after refurbishment on the 8th July.
All the careful planning and hard work, paid off handsomely, Blue Eyed Soul. I'm not normally 'into' dance, but I found your piece delightful and engaging. A special mention to your narrator, who added a great deal to the performance, as well as to the dancers who made it all look so effortless. Lovely stuff. Thank you very much.
