Summary

Issue 57 of The Nut (Autumn 2017) blends forward-looking preservation work with characterful community storytelling. A major feature launches The Rapper Census, led by Coral Reid of Star and Shadow, aiming to film and notate modern dances before they are lost, supported by EFDSS funding. Historical awareness continues with a “Lost Rapper Teams” profile of Grand Union Rapper, while debate turns to supporting DERTy youth teams.

There is coverage of the North East Rapper Competition, SDU archive and workshop initiatives, and an extended international interview with Greenbelt Rapper. Alongside this sit humour, fiction, photo features, and lively Rapparound news, capturing a tradition actively balancing creativity, documentation, and continuity
