The Tilt Yard is just one amazing part
of the beautiful grounds of the 1000 acre Dartington Estate managed by
The Dartington Hall Trust.
At the 1999 Summer School, we staged a performance here to mark the
Total Solar Eclipse, with choir, brass and percussion on the slopes on three
sides, to a gathered audience in the middle, before processing up to the hill
nearby to watch the moon's shadow race across the Devon landscape and envelop
us.

The Ship Studio is another
performance space at Dartington where some of
my pieces were recorded and
premiered. I love this room so much;
it would make a fabulous
place for
my studio.
