Devil’s Dyke Morris Men
Tuesday May 3, 2022–Wednesday August 3, 2022
Devil’s Dyke Morris Men mainly perform dances which originated in the Cotswold area. ‘Morris’ generally is used to cover dances with a formal or ritual function, traditionally formed by a small practised set of same-sex dancers, usually male. This contrasted strongly with social dances which were performed in more relaxed circumstances by both sexes.
The Cotswold Morris is characterised by a mixture of dances with either handkerchiefs or sticks. Other forms of dance which come under the heading ‘Morris’ are, for example, Border Morris (English/Welsh borders, blackface), longsword (mainly Yorkshire), rapper (Durham), and clog (Lancashire/Yorkshire).
There will be performances at many local pubs from May to August.
