Carry on Up the Line
We jumped the gun last month when we announced that Up the Line, the local Remembrance Day celebration, would be returning this year, following a stunning event in 2009. The event did not secure the Arts Council funding the organisers hoped for. However, in a Capra-esque twist, the good people of Brockley have pulled together to put the show on regardless.
Organiser John Mckiernan writes:
Following on from the hugely successful 2009 event we will be presenting a bigger and more beautiful evening performance of ‘Up The Line’ in Brockley and
Poets, musicians, dancers, soundscape, film and a lantern procession with children will begin their performance at the sound of a single Scottish piper along a one and half kilometre path running through the cemetery.
Monuments to those who were injured during the conflict and subsequently died in

Please, will someone just give us some news! ;)
Seriously, well to all the people involved in this event. I'm looking forward to it
Sounds good.
The performances hope to encourage the audience to consider the impact and affects of the Great War without offering an opinion of war itself. By exploring memory, gesture and storytelling through spatial poetry the idea is to create a conversation while simultaneously experiencing the most beautiful of cemeteries.
The final running order will be published here next week.
