The world of Morris Dancing has been rocked by the controversy of wearing black face paint. It’s an old Border tradition, sure, but it makes a whole lot of people uncomfortable so why not evolve with the times?

Some people don’t agree.

Boss Morris from Gloucestershire has some great new and innovated ways of celebrating the ancient art of mumming and Morris dance. Love this IG filter they came up with!!!!!

GTP workers mucking around in an old shattered Oak tree during our hopefully not just annual ramble in the coastal hinterland of East SUSSEX. @print_wagon_ posing as Merlin asleep and enchanted, Orson of @crunchy_bat_band posing as a flibbertigibbet and @mr_zeel as a Troll. Overlooking the beautiful orchards of Udimore. We are inspired by the Czech tradition of 'tramping' or Rambling. @udimoretractorshop #rambling @svaz_naivniho_trampingu #trampingu #eastsussex #efdss #cecilsharphouse (at Udimore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hxTL9BjAe/?igshid=813svds6fq7s

Conference: Locating Women in the Folk, EFDSS & University of Sussex, 9th June 2018

This conference was another opportunity to present my Three Green Dresses film, this time coming from the angle of dresses becoming the repository of my own oral histories, my confidants if you will. I used my practice as a way of showing how I believe dresses provide an excellent canvas for passing on stories and how my use of folktales has provided a common language for getting across my ‘hidden messages’.  Just as folktales and oral traditions are passed along the generations, dresses are the carriers of my oral traditions.

There were some lively debates and some excellent keynote speakers & guests.  A couple of comments of Nicola Kearey’s stood out.  She said “You have to be vulnerable; it’s sort of cathartic in a way”. And “As an artist, being yourself can be the ultimate authenticity.”

I relished the opportunity to be immersed in such an informative event, celebrating the often hidden voices of women in folk traditions and bringing the debate firmly into the 21st century.
