300,000 M/S is a dance at the speed of light. This work-in-progress is created by Angus Balbernie and Stuart Jackson, with invited guests Tora Hed and Katy Dymoke, supported by Touchdown Dance.

Continuing the duo’s ongoing exploration into how we adjust (or not) to being ‘different’ and to growing older, this piece follows on from their previous work “343 M/S” (the speed of sound). 300,00 M/S is a quartet at the speed of light about The Beatles and Beethoven. About darkness and light, silence and sound.

It asks why are our stories so much slower to tell, than see? And if owls fly at around 50km/h – then what about the owls?

The audience are invited to leave their mobiles on, and have them ready, if possible, to play a tune or a song. Also to have a torch app, or if not, to bring a small torch. And a feather…bring  feathers…

This is a pay as you feel event. All pay as you feel donations are invested back into future festivals.
