COLLISION & CONFLICT
PROJECT OUTLINE
Collision & Conflict will be a geolocated sound walk through the Northumberland Cumbria landscape. The walk will travel along Hadrian’s Wall National Trail taking Thirlwall Castle, Green Croft On The Wall, the pronounced ditch at Gilsland, preserved milecastle at Poltross Burn, 914m stretch of wall at Willowford and to roman bridge remains beside the River Irthing leading to Birdoswald Roman Fort.
Often called the Borderlands or Forgotten Lands, the area is wild, bleak, beautiful, and unforgiving. Conflict over boundaries have dominated the history of the area, leaving scars present on the landscape. Thirlwall Castle is where the barbarians ‘thirled’, or threw down part of the wall, during a raid in Roman times. Romans were replaced with Reivers, with Gilsland at the centre of conflict and raids between Reiver families. Conflict continues in contemporary rural Britain with contested views on what land should be used for; production, consumption, preservation, diversification.

BARRE FITNESS
Barre fitness is a hybrid workout class - combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and strength training. It’s a full body workout. Many barre classes can also be modified so they are a safe workout option for pre or post-natal clients. Barre workouts are also a good cross-training option to pair with other exercise like running, weight lifting or cycling. They strengthen the muscles needed for these exercises whilst being low impact.
* Barre fitness can help
* Improve your posture
* Tone and strengthen leg, glute and core muscles
* Increased flexibility
* Better muscle definition
What to expect
The class begins with a ballet barre and uses classic dance moves such as pliés alongside static stretches. We move to the centre for a cardio section with easy to pick up choreography. The class ends on the mat targeting the core, before a yoga-inspired cool-down.
Please bring your own yoga mat and wear comfortable clothes to move. I recommend pilates / grippy socks at the barre if you do not have ballet shoes.
