Performance: The Lay Shaft Drive is Down by Helen Cammock

Performance17/09/23

The Lay Shaft Drive is Down is a new spoken and sung word performance by artist Helen Cammock imagined on the occasion of the exhibition, Tributaries. Taking the House Mill, Bromley-by-Bow, as its starting container, The Lay Shaft Drive is Down considers mills in relation to water, to industry, to food, to hardship and nurture: the tie to the colonial relationships that bind both people and production through contentious, often violent, yet sometimes radical histories.

Please note that this performance takes place at the House Mill, which is a 20 minute walk from Cody Dock following the route of The Line. It is a standing event but seating can be provided. If required, please speak to a member of The Line team upon arrival.

This event has been developed as part of the 2023 Open House Festival. There is a whole host of events happening locally to The Line from the 6th – 17th September; check out the programme at https://programme.openhouse.org.uk/.
