Play Us A River is a recurring improvisation practice space – a pool of play to dip in to and remind your body just how alive you are and can feel with other people. The space is guided by the play of rivers moving through our landscapes -their banks, meanders, currents, movement, stillness.

Play Us A River – Deerness Devotions

This edition of Play Us A River ran from October to December 2024, with generous support from Cultivate Commissions and Into the Light Partnership

“From Tow Law to the Browney, the Deerness river flows, shifts, persists. It carves the landscape and carries the flora and fauna amongst which we play out our lives. Have you ever wondered about your relationship with your local river and its relation to you, to who you are, to where you live, to how you perceive and move?

Come and explore what movements our own Deerness River can carry us into through movement, sound, rhythm, tiny dances, sensory attention, imagination and many personal histories.”
