The Wild Grass was the highlight performance at the event and was a fantastic formation dancing lawn mower extravaganza!

Local community members from Sneinton and St. Ann’s shared ideas with choreographers from the company about the importance of thier own gardens, park and green spaces and Great Britain’s obsession with keeping lawns tidy. Inspired by them, the fantastic performance demonstrated complex patterns involving 5 identical synchronised lawn mowers combining modern folk dance with ideas from the local community.
