You are warmly invited to the Doggerland Administration Annual Lecture

A land lost to the sea 8000 years ago,

its secrets still wash up on England’s eastern shores...

Discover the surreal geology of imagined borders

& perhaps cross a threshold into your own private Doggerland.

Expect surreal geology, unpredictable borders and a plastic bag

An interactive performance for an intimate audience.

BYOB (Bring Your Own Biro)

Doggerland is about the nature of borders, bounderies and thresholds - geological, political, temporal and psychological. It is an invitation to step into the liminal, to create your own personal Doggerland.

Doggerland is an interactive 75 minute surreal lecture-performance performed in the traverse & created for conference rooms, meeting rooms, community spaces and white box studios.
