Event @ Pontio, Bangor

Crone Cast invite you to an Earth Day costume making workshop as part of Cylch 4: Crone Cast + the Ancients

If you attended the workshop on 18th April, this is an opportunity to continue work on your costume… and if not, it is an opportunity to begin/bring with you what you have done at home.

We will also be planning a performance including sound, movement, protest about the destruction of trees at Parc y Coleg and designs for their protection. The resulting performance will be part of Forest Comes to Pontio on Saturday 27th May.

Creating your costume at home/in preparation for attending the workshop

Collect materials for costumes and visual aids to becoming ancient tree. Consider choosing a particular ancient tree or species of tree to become with, or you may choose a hybrid transformation.

Your costume could be as light as a single leaf, or you can join with the crones in full, dendritic, socially distanced attire. You could make one or more of the following:

• Mask

• Leaf brooch

• Crown or headdress

• Name badge (ancient tree name)

• Staff (bring suitable branch)

• Socially distanced attire (bring dress for downcycling)

Materials - bring with you some of the following:

·      Leaves

·      Twigs

·      Bark

·      Clothing suitable for downcycling in natural colours, greens and browns

·      Something that provides ‘structure’ for crown, headdress or wide skirt

·      Materials that suggest leaves or bark

·      Safety pins, sewing kits, string, tape.
