Border Morris Choreographies

I choreograph new dances in the Border tradition. Maybe you want the choreographies listed here which are currently a mix of Red Stags' stuff and my own from workshops. If you're not interested in my own stuff, a number of other sides have been kind enough to make their stuff available on the web, and there are links to these at the bottom.

The notes for each choregraphy are are now in a separate small file: to get back here, click on the link on the left hand navigation. These are the choreographies:

"Weobley Marsh"

 

"Mr Dolly"

The Prisoner

So Far From Home

 

"Welland Eddritch"

"Claret and Oysters"

A note on owning and using this stuff.

Anyone who knows me will be aware that I'm happy for people to use my material (as usual, I'm happiest if you credit it). I'm also happy to answer mail about it, though it may take a while for me to get back to you. I prefer for people to take the material and modify it, so that new ideas are generated which I can use in my turn, but if you want to take one of the notations here and use it as published, fine.

However, not everyone shares these views and you should always respect those people's wishes. For other views on ownership and use, why not check out my stuff on attitudes to the morris?

Where I've credited something as being based on work by someone else, please always credit it in turn and think carefully before just taking it and using it unmodified.

I always try to credit anyone where I know the source of the material, and if anyone feels hard done-by mail me (select from the top left navigation or the footer), ring me, or throw rocks and I'll fix it as soon as I can.

Here are some other sides and individuals who have kindly shared their work with us...

Nigel Sparkes is also putting some of Roy Dommett's morris notes up on the web. I know how phenomenally difficult this kind of thing can be. Go Nigel, Go!

If you have border notations on the web and you'd like them included in this list, mail me (select it from the navigation list), huh?
