The Long Company (Yorkshire, UK)

My presentation will be about how The Long Company was formed by members of Ryburn 3 Step in the early nineties as an addition to existing song, dance and music events and activities. I will include details of how we adapted an existing chapbook text, costume design, timing, location and style of performance. As part of a community folk organisation we also created roles for our singers and musicians to increase involvement and enhance the overall performance as a bigger event.
