Bath/Sidmouth UK Weekend visit 2005 |
The Helsinki Morrisers are a thoroughly mixed(up)Morris Dance side started in 1995 in downtown Annankatu. The first performance took place on a sunny summer evening at the British Embassy, from where the sycamore logo comes. Since 1996 we have been active members of the Arctic Morris Association along with Eken Morris from Stockholm. The gathering in 2009 was in Stockholm and included guests Trigg Morris from Cornwall, UK. For practices we continue to appreciate the hospitality of the Finnish-British Society (now downtown in Frederikinkatu 20 - p.+3589 68770240) - first Fridays at 6 and and third Sundays afternoon. Over the years local venues have included Tavastia Klubi, Helsinki Railway Station, Kallio Flower Festival, as well as Kaustinen and Rääkylä Music Festivals, and more such as on the ice, or Morris on Ice video NEXT ACTION: June 1 we are joining Empire and other Helsinki cricket clubs to woop up the festive spirits at their ground in the forest at Ruskeasuo, Helsinki We will probably still be doing dances of the same type as we did at Current styles include a mix of Border(Shropshire Bedlams), Molly(Ousewash and Gog Magog), Cotswold (via Eken Morris) and Helsinki traditions. The picture below demonstrates our usual mixture - of orientation, decoration and frequently inclination Spring-time in Helsinki - it can be sunny!
