10am meeting time in Dartmeet car park, with the walk beginning at 10:15am
An easy walk with some rocks and roots underfoot
Join MED Theatre for a gentle wander along the banks of the River Dart with live readings from Dartmoor Elements, a book of poems and poetic extracts by Mark Beeson.
In this walk MED Theatre performers will bring elements of his poetry to life through creative interpretations relevant to places along the route. Be ready to meet with leaping salmon, dappled rivers, and swooping swallows, as we celebrate the moorland environment through Mark’s words.
Mark founded MED Theatre and was a playwright, poet, and teacher. His writings are intimate reflections on the ecology, environment and folklore of Dartmoor.
The poetry is aimed at adults and young people and is accessible for children aged 7+. Younger children may be brought along at the parent’s discretion – all children are the parent’s responsibility.
Abby Stobart and Gillian Webster are co-directors of Dartmoor community theatre company MED Theatre. They will lead the walk and also read and perform short extracts from the book alongside other regular MED Theatre community actors.
