For the past two years Still House's Dan Canham has been capturing conversations with people of the fens in East Anglia.

About

Ours Was The Fen Country is an ethereal piece of documentary dance-theatre, Dan and his team fuse movement and sound with the words and memories of their native collaborators to get to the heart of this beautiful, bleak and mysterious expanse of flat land and dig up universal stories of rural communities fading from view. Dan Canham works as a theatre-maker and performer. Dan is interested in the collective imagination of performers and audiences and uses intricate sound design and movement as playful narrators throughout the work. ‘Canham gets a well deserved ovation. A moving, rich and resonant piece of work with huge promise.' Venue Magazine, Bristol Commissioned by Bristol Old Vic Ferment, New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich and DanceXchange. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
