"THE FULL MORRIS"
|
 |
|
Most of our dances
are based on those
performed
at Bampton-in-the-Bush in Oxfordshire, the Upton-upon-Severn Border
tradition and our own 'Medup' tradition, so called because it's "med
up bi uz senz" (made up by ourselves).
However, for one performance only, we derived a 'dance' from a
recent popular film shot in Sheffield. (We don't take ourselves too
seriously!)

MORRIS MINORS!
|
 |
|
For their School
Fête on 29 July
2002,
Shooters Grove decided to feature a team of Morris Dancers. The
Shooters Grove Morris Minors were recruited from Y5 and Y6 and coached
by myself, Gerry Bates, with Barry Callaghan providing the music.

Irish dance displays have
been part of our International
Festival repertoire since 1993 when Emily (aged 6) and Ellen (aged 7)
danced in Ecuador.
A recent International appearance (right) was in Poland in 2002, the
girls
having developed their own style, costume and routines.
With a new name - Sciorr
- they made their first independent appearance at Holmfirth Festival in
May 2003.

Further festival appearances have been at Otley 2003/2004, Cleethorpes
2005, Wath
2005, Cheltenham 2006, Sidmouth 2006, Whitby
2006 and, of course, the World Folkloriada (see below). They
will make a special guest stage appearance at the 2007 Warwick Festival.

WORLD FOLKLORIADA
Hungary 2004
|
|
|
Sheffield City Morris
took their
roadshow to
Hungary again in 2004 for the World Folkloriada, the 'Olympic Games' of
folklore.
We covered a lot of the country and eagle eyed
Archers fans
were searching
for any sign of Ed Grundy's presence. We weren't disappointed -
roadside sales of garden gnomes, etc. But attached to a cider press in
Vasvar -
irrefutable
evidence!
