SEPTEMBER 2010
CAD have been given the opportunity to contribute to the exciting project 'Another Land'. Over four evenings in late December, Another Land is set to be a new and highly original creation in light and sound for Dunfermline Abbey. The new project, created especially for the abbey and grounds, represents the end of a journey into the distant history of Fife.

In the summer of 2010 a new community arts project created by The Red Field was launched in Fife. "Another Land" was a journey and a story that followed a path across Fife and ended with an installation of light, sound, glass and storytelling in Dunfermline Abbey in February of 2011.
As the journey unfolded it made its way to and from six contrasting historic sites across the region and each of the sites informed and inspired successive chapters in the progress of the journey and the story.
The Journey began with a horseman and the horseman began deep in the midst of a Dark Age forest.
Now Another Land is returning to forest. Trees will blanket the land, buildings will disappear and to travel is go by foot, by boat and by horse.
The project will conjure an extraordinary landscape within the nave of the abbey, of raw and mesmerising beauty where the distant past will seem to shatter and explode into infinity.
The final event in Dunfermline Abbey revealed the journey of the traveller to be the dreaming of an unborn child.
The idea behind this project is that at our very beginnings we might carry some kind of cultural memory, a memory that travels across the generations, and that echoes of our past, and the past of our lands, faintly resides in all of us.
For each nightly performance, and with the help of Forth Park Maternity Hospital in Kirkcaldy, we were able the bring the details, the exact time of birth and the first ever image of a new born baby to the audience of the event. Those details will be coming to this page very soon.
The production's lead artist is Tim Fitzpatrick of Red Field Arts, who was also responsible for The Pilgrim, a critically acclaimed work in light and sound, created for the abbey in 2008.
CAD artists are currently busy creating work for the Abbot House grounds.
