MORE incredible and fun acts have been announced for Bournemouth’s third Arts by the Sea Festival.

More colour will be provided by Ash Mukerjee’s worldwide.margam.alt, being performed at Pavilion Dance on October 10. Ash Dance Theatre’s work blends contemporary and traditional dance forms, travelling the world from the southern shores of India to the speakeasies of 1920s New York, via the ancient temples of Greece and underground clubs of London.

In the Lower Gardens during the opening weekend of the festival another highly imaginative and unusual show will be performed – of all places – in a garden shed. Lewis Gibson’s Lost in Words is a journey through a good book and Barnaby Stone’s Yes, but it’s Complicated, is a work about memories and home.

Shoes and fairy tales provide themes for three performances: Michele O’Brien’s The Shoe Shop is a free event from September 20 to September 22 at the bandstand in the Lower Gardens. The Girl and the Shoes from Valise Noire Storytelling Theatre on Sept 24 will transport its audience to Paris and a world of beautiful shoes.

And on September 29 there will be In A Deep Dark Wood, from Gobbledegook Theatre, a fun and highly interactive show about a little girl who ventures into a dark and mysterious wood.

The festival runs from September 20 to the October 12. For details visit artsbournemouth.org.uk
