POROUS

flier

singing with a river … walking/listening/sounding-with

On Saturday 30th May at dusk, a small group conversation with the River Lugg and the ancient Lammas Meadow it runs through on the outskirts of Hereford city. Using sound-making and song as a portal into encounter – including deep listening, a sharing of folksong and sounds, a telling of tales with the River – extending into the imaginary, inhabiting story, ‘re-membering’ that we are of the same stuff.

This intra-action with the ancient river meadow also explores our relationship with flood – wondering whether new forms of knowing evolve as we participate with the previously overlooked but deeply understood.

The soundwalk will take place at dusk to coincide with the expansive full moon in sagittarius:
a slow deep-listening walk alongside the river
a conversation with the all-around
an exploration in song and sound

slare

To saunter, to be slovenly (The Dialect of Cumberland – Robert Ferguson, 1873). Rarely used in Cumbria now but has a meaning of to walk slowly, to amble, to walk with no particular purpose. Used for example in the ballad Billy Watson’s Lonnin written by Alexander Craig Gibson of Harrington, Cumbria in 1872 “Yan likes to trail ow’r t’ Sealand-fields an’ watch for t’ commin’ tide, Or slare whoar t’Green hes t’ Ropery an’ t’ Shore of ayder side “(Translation: One likes to trail over to Sealand Fields and watch for the coming tide, Or slare over to where the Green has the ropery and the Shore on the other side) Billy Watson’s Lonning (lonning – dialect for lane) still exists and can be found at Harrington, Cumbria.
