“Our Dreamscapes will not be created by media-savy experts of the left and then handed down to the rest of us to watch, consume and believe. Instead our spectacle will be participatory: dreams the public can mold and shape themselves. They will be active: spectacles that work only if people help create them, They will be open ended: setting stages to ask questions and leaving silences to formulate answers. And they will be transparent: dreams that one knows are dreams but which still have power to attract and inspire. And finally, the spectacles we create will not cover over or replace reality and truth but perform and amplify it.”
The Morris Liberation Front was an attempt to reclaim a British icon to re-establish our national identity as a collaborative, creative and open society. We perform at demonstrations to tell a story, engage people with the idea and spark debate. Like WWF wrestling, our performance is both fiction and non-fiction, a true myth which exists as folklore.According to the 2003 licensing act, performing in the street without a license is illegal, however Morris dancing holds its place alongside religious institutions and advertising in being exempt. This also allows us to legally cover pop songs, turning them into modern day folk tunes.
