Longways / Crosswise was an immersive, site-specific dance performance by About Time Dance Company.
Taking place on the coastline of Morecambe Bay, the performance was inspired by David Cox’s provocative paintings of the crossing, and performed by a cast of professional dancers and local participants.
Commencing an hour before sunset, the audience and performers witnessed the phenomenal transformation of the bay at day’s end.
Between water and land, between day and night, between those that once walked the sands and those that still do, Longways & Crosswise creates a tangible, lived encounter with the shifting, sifting world of Morecambe Bay.
