Cultural Exchange: UK 2011 / Canada-US 2013
In 2011, Maple Morris took on its most ambitious project yet, in
collaboration with England's foremost Morris innovators, Morris
Offspring.
Through a week of workshops and rehearsals, Maple Morris and Morris Offspring produced Must Come Down, a stage performance showcasing Morris dancing at its most inventive, joined by musicians Becky Price, Jackie Oates, Gavin Davenport,and Matthew Keegan-Phipps and storyteller Debs Newbold. A poster for the show is available on the media page.
A return leg of the collaboration in 2013 will see Maple Morris joined by Morris Offspring to perform in Canada and the US, and we will again welcome the participation of some exciting musicians for this project (stay tuned for details!) We still need your help to make this possible. Many of our dancers are students who will be unable to participate in the UK project without financial support. We need your donations to make this project a success.
All donations will go directly to the expenses of a young dancer in financial need. To help out, use the Paypal link below or contact us to donate by cheque.
After you donate, sign up for our email newsletter for news on how your donation is being used. Thanks from Maple Morris!
