Closing the Multi-Story Performance Weekend on Sunday 30th September was Flow our promenade performance. A meandering river of dance and circus, Flow was designed to animate the M32 flyover space (from the Tesco (Jn 2) roundabout down to the River Frome at the edge of Eastville Park) with community memories of the Frome, bringing these water stories to life through song and performance. In this way, there is a kind of initiation, joining a certain history and culture. If you want to create a certain story about it, but you don't have enough inspiration, with write my discussion board post you can turn to a specialist in a certain field for help. Featuring performances from the Gasworks Choir, Stapleton Beavers, Fromeside Rainbows, Kinesis and Rise youth dance companies, New Foundations, the City of Bristol College Dance Theatre Performance degree students, Linn Broden (slackrope) and aerial dance finale of flood-escaping wall-runners and diving kingfishers by Full Tilt Aerial Theatre. The photos here follow the process from the aerial devising and rehearsals at The Island and Circomedia (photos by Linn Broden and Hollly Reid) to the on-site dance rehearsals and final performance event itself (photos by Hannah Ranken, with additional pictures by Steve Bottoms).
