when each show begins, and our guides are
on hand to help you down the forest path. But
beware the night-fall - then the forest imps

to play with living fire! We invite you to run
away with us - music, fun and dancing will
go on long after sunset. Just maybe you’ll
come back.

Surgeon’sCourt
Puppet Improv
A series of very temporary, site specific
installations by renowned environmental artist
Steve Messam, sited across a number of
familiar locations in Lancashire, with the very
first here in Preston.
A rising tide of the colour red. By day the
significant scale of this solid mass will make
it very visable. By night, internal illuminations
together with coloured washes will saturate
the immediate area with red light creating an
immersive, monochrome experience.
The Red Rose in Preston’s Surgeons Court,
will transform the often overlooked historic
narrow alleyway, with an installation of over
4,000 bright red balloons. Transforming
something everyday and inconspicuous into a
thing of wonder. The balloons will fill the space
between the buildings for the entire length of
one block - from Fox Street to Lune Street.

those rules.
Choreographed by Ludus Dance and
second year Dance Performance and
Teaching students from UClan, Brace

Athletic yet sensitive, Push is a
powerful and engaging male duet,
which looks at the different stances
we take as we understand and relate
to one another. The piece explores the
complex nature of our psychology - how
at times we push to exert dominance
and control, and at other times choose to
submit and step back.
Choreographed by Anthony Missen and Kevin
Edward Turner, aka Company Chameleon.
Co-commissioned by Without Walls and Dance
Manchester.

ProcessionofLight
Saturday24thSeptember
8pm start
Building on the
tradition of the
Preston Guild
torchlight procession
one of the highlights of
Lancashire Encounter will
be the Procession of Light.
The exciting procession will illuminate
Lancashire’s Spirit of Invention, taking
inspiration from Lancashire’s industrial heritage and the 200th anniversary of
Preston’s illumination by Gas Light through to modern day jet engines and drones.
Inspired by Lancashire’s ‘Make It’ ethos, organisations and businesses from across
Lancashire have come together to create and make a spectacle of light.
Procession Producers Big Difference Company have been working with local groups
to create a couple of large scale pieces
and supported
ET
Police Division groups to realise their ideas.
