Abstract
In this illustrated talk, Doc Rowe reflects on fifty-odd years of witnessing and collecting dance performance and tradition – the accent might be on the odd!
From the early 1960s, with an early interest in song and step dancing in his native Devon, a visit to Mayday in Cornwall initiated an unremitting preoccupation with cultural tradition.
