Lyth Arts are bringing these performers to Helmsdale this Sunday....watch out for them! 2pm & 4pm with comm centre as starting point...

“Featuring luminous straw dancers whirling to Balkan inspired beats, the work is a unique spin on the cultural tradition of ‘The Strawboys’, also known as Mummers, Guisers, Burdie Boys and Skekklers. The groups were often identified by their ornate straw costumes while out rambling streets, fields, towns and parks, parading their merriment to the joy of onlookers. Having once thrived across Scotland and Ireland, the tradition is now enjoying a revived interest, notably as the Wren Boys of Ireland and the Skekklers of Shetland.”

Dance Artist Rob Heaslip revives the cultural tradition of ‘The Strawboys’, as he unveils his vibrant new pop-up work, up to forty times, in several unexpected outdoor locations across Shetland, Orkney, Caithness, the Highlands and Aberdeenshire in July and August 2021.
