Reading Cloggies' Festivals
Performers Shows, Workshop Showcases, & Lectures
| The objectives of filming these performances were many. The main ones were:
| To record the highlights of each Festival, i.e. the varied performances by
specially invited accomplished guests: groups or solo dancers; to record the vast
differrences between the many clog and step dance traditions of the British Isles and
other parts of the world; to record the dances, routines and styles of material taught at
each year's workshops; the lecture by a specially invited guest of long standing
accomplishment. |
| To raise money for the so-called Reading
Cloggies Film Fund in order to "further research, document and record fast
disappearing step and clog dance traditions." |
|
| All performances can also be searched for and watched for free at the DVRA:

Ossy Cloggers were formed by Theresa Hindle in 1979. They will dance an unaccompanied
Military Routine which represents a corps of drums, the solo drummer/dancer leading and
the rest of the corps joining in a repeat, as in a drum and bugle band.

South West of England and are danced to the music of the Bacca Pipes Jig, played by Roger
Howard.

8.
Penny Brookman and Dennis Victory came together through Traditional Arts Projects (TAPS)
for a show called Rhythm in my Sole, in 1996. Although from very different dance
backgrounds, they work on the interaction of steps and rhythms from a range of percussive
dance styles and musical cultures, usually improvising their performances to suit unusual
locations! Music is performed by Keith Holloway (melodeon) and Charles Spicer (oboe).
9.
Ednie Wilson's set of seven slip jig steps devised to Northumbrian triple jig time, is the
result of a project which was begun ten years ago and came to fruition two years ago.
Based on the works of jazz poets, it translates the rhythm of the words so as to mimic
jazz poetry. Accompanied by Chris Metherell - melodeon.
10.
Ira Bernstein - Northumberland and durham Clog Hornpipe.
11.
Pat Tracey shows us an Old Lancashire Heel and Toe dance taught by her grandfather to her
mother, who in turn passed it on to her. She is accompanied by Paul Hudson.
12.
Ira Bernstein is regarded as one of the most versatile and accomplished performers of
percussive step dancing in America and, in particular, as one of the foremost
southern-Appalachian-style flat-footers in the world. His repertoire is a wide array of
dances that all share a common thread: the production of rhythmic, percussive sounds: he
refers to his art as Ten Toe Percussion. Concerts of Ten Toe Percussion include an
eclectic mix of rhythm tap dancing, Appalachian flatfooting, English clogging, Irish step
dancing, Canadian step dancing and South African boot dancing. Today, Ira will be putting
together a 15 minutes performance especially for the day. He will be accompanied by his
own musician, Trevor Stuart, who is regarded as one of the top, young, traditional
fiddlers in America.
