Fjords, Fells & Folk – Travels around the heart of western Norway
Explore the landscape and culture of our near neighbour, Norway with Kenny Taylor & Vanessa Halhead
Norway and Scotland are often linked in discussion of politics, environment and economy. But what’s the reality of Scotland’s beautiful northern neighbour? Kenny Taylor and Vanessa Halhead have decades of experience to share of travel, work, friendships, culture and environment in Norway.
Their recent exploration of the mighty Sognefjord and its nearby glaciers, fells, farms and forests will be a spectacular backdrop, with thoughts on many different aspects of life in the heart of fjord country to the fore. Using images, words and audio, this will be a journey through landscapes, art and ideas; from local resources to community resilience. About how Norway and Scotland are linked – and separated – in ways that land and nature are viewed and used and how people value their home place.

Doors open at 19.00 so that you can take a look at 'The Epic Stage Story' exhibition, all about the amazing variety of shows put on at small venues like Resolis with only tiny budgets. The exhibition was commissioned by the Touring Network to celebrate 20 years of their work.
The music depicts the life and prophecies of Coinneach Odhar, the Brahan Seer, a 17th Century prophet who spent much of his life in Easter Ross.
THE SEER's overall impact, musically and visually, is both contemplative and utterly dramatic at the same time. Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky review

Dance:
Tantalus & A Pair of Genes by Plan B
Tantalus, Performed and choreographed by Neil Joseph Price (Winner, Best Dance Performance, Sunday Herald Culture Awards 2017).
Like Tantalus, the Greek mythological figure who was made to stand in a stream beneath a tree – the fruit always out of reach, the water receding when he bent to drink – the piece explores the emotional journey for a man pulled in conflicting directions, whilst seeking his own independence and fulfilment.
With specially commissioned music by Shooglenifty’s Quee MacArthur, Tantalus is directed and designed by plan B’s award winning Artistic Director, Frank McConnell
A Pair of Genes, Performed by Neil Joseph Price and Artistic Director, Frank McConnell.
This new, witty dance theatre duet, choreographed by Frank with original music written by David Trouton, explores how our invisible genetic make-up contributes to a sense of identity. Frank and Neil are related by blood but one exhibits an additional chromosome in DNA analysis. With the speed of technology ever increasing, the show also explores the gradual, worldwide, de-population in recent years of people with Down Syndrome. The show is designed by Miranda Melville.

Fri. 19th April
Theatre:
“The Unspotted Snow” Mull Theatre
A light-hearted theatrical romp featuring starvation, scurvy, cannibalism... and some jolly tunes.
Based on the ill-fated 1845 Sir John Franklin expedition to discover the North-West passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific and it's extraordinary 170-year legacy. Set partly on the barren ice floes of the Arctic and partly in the stultifying drawing room of Lady Jane Franklin, Unspotted Snow is a "ripping yarn" - a bold and adventurous tale of tragedy, mishap, folly, arrogance, madness and betrayal, Victorian heroism ... and ruthless news management.
Join us to explore and discover the hazy, crazy half-truths, rumours and scandals that besmirched the unspotted snow of the great white north.
Tickets : Adults £10, children £8
