We Are Pathmakers 

One in three British soldiers who died in WWI were wearing boots made in Northampton.

Stand on level six of the multi-storey car park in Northampton and look out over ‘shoe town’… From her vantage point, Jo Blake takes a poetic look at the shoes we stand in, the paths we make through life, and the traces we leave behind.

Binding together story, archaeology, nursery rhyme, and legend, this elegant, bold and dynamic performance from one of the stars of a new generation of performance storytellers, finds inspiration in an old pair of slippers, a bowl of dirty water and a hanged man’s sense of humour.

We Are Pathmakers was performed at venues across the UK and Europe, including as part of the Royal & Derngate’s Hometown season and the Maps and Dreams season of performance storytelling at the Barbican, 2009 – 2011
