“Enter into a world beyond knowing and float down the river into an entangled landscape moving between polarities of the messy and beautiful human experience.”
Four women enter a dreamscape, inviting you into imaginal experiences of Dartmoor, awakening their collective and playful relationship with the wild world.
Devised over the course of 18 months through a process of place-based improvisation this piece explores the celebration of living in a female body, nature, creativity and the exploration of connection to where we live.
This is a multidisciplinary performance spanning physical theatre, music, clowning, dance, ritual, storytelling, puppetry and fashion. It is a rich tapestry of the varied creative practices of this group of women, sewn into a dream-like journey across Dartmoor.
Details:
- Date: Friday 16th and Saturday 17th of May
- Time: Doors at 7pm for a 7.30pm start (no late admissions)
- Place: The Moor Imagination Centre - Buckfastleigh
- Tickets: £10/£12/£14*
The show is 1 hour (no interval) and the space will be open after with a bar available.
About Moor Wild Ensemble
We are collective of women folk artists creating multidisciplinary performance work that explores human-nature entanglement and modern paradoxes through a female gaze. Since May 2023, our four members—who traverse the roles of activists, dancers, singers, weavers, facilitators, and creators—have gathered on Dartmoor to develop performance that reconnects with the land through relationship. We create work aimed to enchant and reawaken wonder with the natural world, telling stories of our interdependence while acknowledging our roles in harmful systems.
*We have totally self-funded this piece, seeking to make the kind of performance work we are excited by rather than be limited by the confines of criteria that funding often asks. With this in mind our budget for rehearsal space means we have not been able to pay ourselves for the time dedicated this piece. Therefore any extra donations are gratefully received.

What a glorious feast for the wild spirit. Feeling topped up and inspired by this animist whirlwind with the land, sea and sky. I loved it all - the ingenuity, the cheekiness, the creativity, the play, the sincerity. I want to go again!

This was a fantastic multi sensory experience. It was moving, funny and inspiring. It managed to weave many different threads into one coherent performance. Although it must have taken so much work, they made it look effortless and seamless.

A wonderful performance that invoked deep, thoughts and meaning. It was a vibrant rollercoaster of emotions with brilliant, cleverly placed humour. Touchingly, powerful yet still managed to raise, laughter. The performers, weaved a certain mysterious magic, I went to sleep that night, and dreamt the encore. Very entertaining I loved it.

This performance was creative, moving, funny and both ecologically and artistically inspiring. The next day I went to Dartmoor and I noticed how the performance had deeply impacted my relationship with the land; I could hear the granite of the Tor speak! Moor Wild Ensemble, you captured it perfectly. Thank you for a beautiful performance.

I was totally enthralled by this beautifully imagined and deliciously creative performance! Moor Wild Ensemble cast a spell over us all with their joyful and exuberant animation of the Earthly and Heavenly elements. What a sensual feast, and a celebration of the protagonist, Dartmoor!

I was really moved by this show. It's maybe a bit hackneyed to say 'spellbound', but that's basically what it was. I was enchanted; transported out onto the moor and into the ocean and into my body and into a tree and into a rock and into my primal being that somehow transcends it all and transcends time, even - and I felt it all deeply and meaningfully, all whilst chuckling at the humour of it all, as though being led along hand-in-hand, skipping with friends. My congratulations and thanks to this troupe for giving birth to such a precious performance piece. Their gift to us is a stunning, sensory kaleidoscope of nature- and self-connection, which deserves an audience. Many audiences! I thought it was brilliant.
