Dreamtime Fellrunner

28 Feb 2025

Storyhouse

A Mindfell Production in Association with the Theatre by the Lake

The Dreamtime Fellrunner is a poetic, fun and moving exploration of Julie’s running exploits on the Lakeland fells.

Presenting fellrunning as a type of land art and spiritual practice this is an aesthetic performance which allows people to experience the beauty of a wonderful sport, regardless of their degree of familiarity with the fells and running.

Emphasising body-mind-spirit-place connections, the Dreamtime Fellrunner encounters themes of feminism, land rights, ageism and ableism, history and literature, while carrying us on a journey through the Lakeland fells.

The show consists of 60 minutes of immersive performance supported by a soundscape with original music. The shorter, more relaxed second-half features opportunities for discussion and reflection on our personal sources of beauty and connection, whatever they are.
