Abstract
My concern is that contemporary dance may be an inappropriate medium within a
rural Welsh speaking culture. After a six minute dance improvisation in a
traditional Welsh chapel which was driven by thoughts about place, culture and
gender, the act becomes written, in counterpoint to the dance. The writing is
filmed and placed in contexts and settings which are redundant but speak of a
pride still attached to the industry which Ceredigion has depended upon – the milk
stand is the soap box from which I make my speech.
