Dance Artists Anna Golding and Rachelle Green collaborated with Visual Artist Ella Huhne on the facilitation of ‘Border Dance’, part of the Blackdown Hills Artists and Makers (BHAAM) group entry in Somerset Art Weeks (SAW 09). Castle Neroche, the site for the workshops and performances, was used as inspiration as was the theme of borders.

This project involved members of the community of all ages from Chard in Somerset and the surrounding areas.

Creative Dance Sessions, incorporating dance and visual art, culminated in performances at Castle Neroche in the Blackdown Hills on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September.
The music was by Charlie Hearnshaw, and a short documentary DVD of the project was made by Richard Tomlinson.

Sophie Bean, Alfie Golding, Frankie Golding, George Green, Elizabeth Mc Sweeney, Sue-Claire Morris, Cleo Parsons, Laura Parsons, George Rickard, Olivia Sanders, Carl Smith-Hobbs, Jacob Turner, Karen Turner, Lorelei Webber, Anna Whitefield, Milly Whitefield.

The project was funded by Holyrood Community School, the Blackdown Hills AONB SDF, South Somerset County Council, Taunton Deane Borough Council and The Neroche Scheme, with in kind support from East Devon District Council.
