Henry Glassie: Field Work

Offline

Over the last 50 years the celebrated American Folklorist Henry Glassie has been writing in-depth studies of communities and their art.  Inspired by the writings and ideas of Glassie – ‘Field Work’ is an immersive and meditative documentary set among the rituals and rhythms of working artists across Brazil, Turkey, North Carolina and Ireland.

The process of making something out of raw materials is luminously manifested in sequences which reflect in their measured and attentive approach the actual real time process of making, of the work of hands and of the close attention the artist is bringing to the work.

Starts at 7pm. Doors Open 6:30pm

Booking essential. Please go to the Garter Lane website for important information for visiting the theatre.

Time: 7pm - TBCpm
