three acres and a cow
Charlotte Du Cann
Dear All,
This is a really great show hosted by a really great initiative - Norwich FarmShare (springboarded by Transition Norwich). Lots of singing and a share potluck meal.
All the best,
Charlotte
'Three Acres And A Cow’ connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt with current issues of fracking and the housing crisis via the Enclosures, English Civil War, Irish Land League and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the radical people’s history of Britain in folk song, stories and poems.
Part TED talk, part history lecture, part folk club sing-a-long, part poetry slam, part storytelling session… Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations.
Events like this are so important to change our collective consciousness:
“Changing the story isn’t enough in itself, but it has often been foundational to real changes. Making an injury visible and public is usually the first step in remedying it, and political change often follows culture, as what
was long tolerated is seen to be intolerable, or what was overlooked becomes obvious. Which means that every conflict is in part a battle over the story we tell, or who tells and who is heard.”
Rebecca Solnit
“Stories are the secret reservoir of values: change the stories individuals and nations live by and tell themselves and you change the individuals and nations.
Nations and peoples are largely the stories they feed themselves. If they tell themselves stories that are lies, they will suffer the future consequences of those lies. If they tell themselves stories that face their own truths, they will free their histories
for future flowerings.”
Ben Okri
