Become a Lumenator
H
undreds of local people will come together to create amazing outdoor art in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty this year, creating a collective connection to Dorset's remarkable landscape, as part of UK-wide celebration of creativity. Producer Activate Performing Arts and outdoor arts company Walk the Plank are recruiting one thousand local people to participate in a mass gathering in Dorset called Green Space Dark Skies. The production will see people come together with artists and creatives to forge powerful collective connections to the local landscape. The artworks will be created at dusk by participants from the local area, known as Lumenators. Guided along pathways or waterways and carrying smart lights, that are sensitive to the night-time environment, the beautiful digital choreography will be captured on film and available to watch online afterwards. The artwork will imagine a new way of seeing the local landscape in Dorset and inspire people to care for the planet for future generations.

On the night, registration is open from 6.30pm, and runners will set off by 8.30pm. Please note: The Dorset Neon Run is open to anyone over the age of 12, however, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. If you want to get the little ones involved then check out a new addition for 2022 (and something we’re sure you’ll all be excited to get involved with) is the Family 2k, which takes place slightly earlier in the day. The course adapted from the main event, registration opens at 4pm, and the fun run begins at 5.30pm. Make sure you dress extra colourfully as, of course, the sun won’t have set yet!
