The Meanings of Water: With Noel Burch, Stephen Dillane, Jay Griffiths, Robert Macfarlane, Mark Padmore, Jules Pretty and Ken Worpole
A day-long enquiry into the cultural meanings of water, featuring exclusive presentations from prize-winning author Robert Macfarlane on the late Roger Deakin and a staged reading from Deakin's Waterlog by tenor Mark Padmore and actor Stephen Dillane, directed by Katie Mitchell. Acclaimed writer Jay Griffiths (Wild, an Elemental 7 Journey, described in The Observer as a profound and extraordinary work') will speak on the sea and its mysteries, while, alongside the photography of Jason Orton, writers Jules Pretty (The Luminous Coast) and Ken Worpole (350 Miles) will trace the Eastern Coast. Noel Burch will introduce the UK theatrical premiere screening of his pioneering documentary essay film The Forgotten Space (2010). Made with Allan Sekula, it follows the high seas global supply chain our consumer lives so depend on, and the lives left in its wake.
