Wooda is set in twenty acres on a steep south facing slope, sheltered from prevailing weather, located two miles from the sea in a farm settlement dating back to 1317. This barn has been converted into a performance space for rehearsal, practise and development of all artistic material, with the staging of small scale events and concerts that will forge a new alliance between culture and agriculture and to establish a site that will promote an educational understanding of the creative responses to the natural context in which it sits. The "rise and fall" floor captures the essence of this intent; inspired metaphorically through Music-(the mechanism) lead weights, wire and pulleys which are like a piped or stringed instrument, Dance-(movement) kinetic movement, rise and fall and the sensual shapes that have a figurative quality, along with Landscape-(form) the stepped arrangement evokes contour lines on a map, an incline or bank inhabiting the space.
