I think it’s time we started looking at the Pontio website to see what’s happening in Bangor: it was only a chance conversation which led Daf and I to pop over to Bangor to see ‘Angel’. We’re both really glad we didn’t miss it.
Basing her performance on the idea of an Angel as guardian, watching over people from on high, the performer, Kate Lawrence appeared over the parapet of the west tower of Bangor Cathedral: she combined dance and movement with abseiling and rock climbing techniques, using the vertical walls of the tower as her floor, slowly lowering herself downwards during her gymnastic dance until she arrived at ground level, hanging inverted for a while before finally standing on the earth at the base of the tower.
Thank you to Catrin for letting us know about this performance.
The next visit we make to Bangor Cathedral will be for ‘Carols by 1000 Candles’ at 7:30 Tuesday 17th December. The cathedral is lovely in candlelight, some carols are sung by the choir and everyone joins in with others. The readings are touching and often humorous and there are always lots of people in the congregation.
