AN immersive, site-specific dance performance is taking place on the coastline of Silverdale.

Longways / Crosswise is inspired by David Cox’s provocative paintings of the crossings of Lancaster Sands made during the 19th century.

A cast of professional dancers and participants from the local community re-imagine the stories and tales of those that once crossed the sands in the last of the light, making a precarious journey between Lancaster and Ulverston in the pre-railway age.

Commencing just before sunset, together the audience and performers will witness the phenomenal, natural transformation of the Bay at day’s end.

The dancers’ movements will trace the folds of the sand and the flow of the tide, dancing the ridges and ripples of the Bay’s unique, ever-changing landscape, creating a tangible, lived encounter with the shifting, sifting world of Morecambe Bay.
