Sat 5th June 2021 6pm - 9pm

For this event Robin has teamed up with friends and associates of Par based Community Arts Group, Covid & Beyond, who have been engaging with local people throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to help improve mental well-being though creative activities and strengthen community bonds. They have been running incredible workshops in Improv, Poetry, Ceramics and Drawing through funding and support from Creative Civic Change, Par Bay. 

​

​

 

Their groups, alongside other local musicians and performers will be taking over this temporary installation for an evening of celebrations. Through these performances, and the event as a whole, we will be exploring what community means to us and expressing our collective sense of place. 

 

Stone Circles are usually thought of only as ritualistic sites, Robin’s research reimagines what a ritual site is and instead proposes these sites as Civic Spaces; meeting points bridging the gap between one community and another, a place to learn, share, celebrate and hold both hard and trivial conversations.

The stone circle performances will be based at a DIY temporary art space built for the And Everything And Nothing Has Changed programme by the iconic Sky Tip. It comprises of a shipping container, a temporary scaffold space and a portaloo… as I said DIY. 

 

This isn't a polished event of canapes and red velvet chairs, it’s a camping chair, picnic and bottle of your choosing kind of thing. It’s about getting together outside and supporting wonderful local people doing wonderful things during lockdown. It’s an opportunity to come together and celebrate, to hold conversions in real life away from screens and have a laugh. 

 

The event will be outside and space will be created between the 9 stones for you to pitch up a camping chair (or any chair of your choosing), sit back and enjoy an evening of frivolity!

 

 Due to social distancing there is a limited number of spaces available. We will be sat (On your camping chairs) between the stones, or just in front of them. We can accommodate a group of 8 per area, or this can be split into 2 groups of 3, or a 4 and a 2 etc. Please consider this when booking and feel free to email Hello@robinjamessullivan.com for any questions. Robin has got the fun job of making the seating chart! 

 

We are expecting this event to sell out very quickly so please do book quickly to avoid disappointment. 

 

Also it worth noting that this event is outside, on top of a hill...so do dress appropriately!
