"Dragons: Music, Legends, Landscapes" will enhance the public impact of a completed AHRC project on the history of regional performance, "Records of Early English Drama North-East" (REED-NE). It will use the rich dragon lore of England's North East to consolidate and increase local interest in theatre history, music, and folklore. "Dragons" is also intended to alleviate hardships in the arts, crafts and heritage sector resulting from Covid-19.Funded by the AHRC between 2013-18, REED-NE discovered and studied sources of early music, theatre, ceremony and popular festivity in England's North East up to 1642. REED-NE has now entered its legacy phase. "Dragons" is inspired by findings which emerged during the research on the REED-NE project, such as "worm" characters in medieval plays, and stage dragons used in festive pageants of the 16th and 17th centuries. The bid capitalizes on this element of REED-NE's discoveries because legendary dragons are also very present in the local culture of England's North East - in stories, songs, plays, poems, operettas and church ceremonial. In collaboration with community stakeholders, arts & crafts specialists, and international theatre professionals, we aim to deliver a programme that is related to, but distinct from, previous work on REED-NE, for general audiences across England's North East:- A "Dragon Show", presented by regional artists, and touring England's North East (Hexham, Morpeth, Bamburgh, Ripon, Durham, Whitby)- Theatre and craft workshops- Exhibition "Radical Dragons: Fiery Beasts and the Making of the North East" at Brancepeth Castle, Co. Durham- Covid-resilient supplements: outdoor activities; elements of the exhibition and show available onlineAll activities will be extensively evaluated (e.g. with audience and participant questionnaires, interviews, and filmed documentation) to generate quantitative evidence on impact, and establish how forms of cultural and communal activity work in a pandemic context.The project's long-term legacy will be:1. Brancepeth Castle as a permanent, pandemic-resilient site to engage local communities and enhance the castle's touristic value and economic sustainability: with an exhibition space; a multi-purpose community atelier; and a small-scale permanent exhibition on the North East's dramatic heritage based on REED-NE research.2. Establishment of a theatre company - "Hazelsong Theatre Company" - based in Hexham, whose mission will be to celebrate regional musical and dramatic heritage in the North East. The theatre company lead (Bates) can build on excellent regional connections and has recruited all project partners except Brancepeth Castle.3. Quantitative and qualitative evidence on regional cultural activity in the field of intangible heritage (music, drama) and its effects in times of pandemic; a body of work of potential interest for future study of the pandemic (and its cultural and social impact) in the North East.

“龙族：音乐，传奇，风景”将提高一个完成的AHRC项目对区域表演历史的公众影响，“早期英国戏剧东北记录”（REED-NE）。它将利用英格兰东北部丰富的龙知识来巩固和增加当地对戏剧历史，音乐和民间传说的兴趣。“龙”也是为了减轻艺术，手工艺和遗产部门因新冠肺炎而造成的困难。2013-18年间，由AHRC资助，REED-NE发现并研究了英格兰东北部直到1642年的早期音乐，戏剧，仪式和流行节日的来源。REED-NE现已进入其遗留阶段。“龙”的灵感来自于对REED-NE项目的研究中出现的发现，例如中世纪戏剧中的“蠕虫”角色，以及16世纪和17世纪节日庆典中使用的舞台龙。投标利用了里德-NE的发现的这一元素，因为传说中的龙也非常存在于英格兰东北部的当地文化-在故事，歌曲，戏剧，诗歌，轻歌剧和教堂仪式。与社区利益相关者，艺术和手工艺专家以及国际戏剧专业人士合作，我们的目标是为英格兰东北部的普通观众提供一个与REED-NE之前的工作相关但又不同的节目：-由区域艺术家呈现的“龙秀”，并在英格兰东北部巡回演出（赫克瑟姆，莫尔佩斯，班堡，里彭，达勒姆，惠特比）-戏剧和手工艺工作坊-展览“激进的龙：火热的野兽和东北部的制作”在Brancepeth城堡，有限公司达勒姆-Covid弹性补充剂：户外活动;展览的元素和显示可在线所有活动将被广泛评估（例如，通过观众和参与者问卷调查、访谈和拍摄的文件），以产生影响的量化证据，并确定各种形式的文化和社区活动如何在流行病背景下发挥作用。该项目的长期遗产将是：1. Brancepeth城堡作为一个永久性的，具有流行病抵御能力的网站，以吸引当地社区并提高城堡的旅游价值和经济可持续性：具有展览空间;多功能社区工作室;以及基于REED-NE研究的东北部戏剧遗产的小型永久展览。在赫克瑟姆成立了一个戏剧公司-“黑兹尔松戏剧公司”，其使命将是庆祝东北地区的音乐和戏剧遗产。剧院公司领导（贝茨）可以建立良好的区域关系，并已招募了除Brancepeth Castle以外的所有项目合作伙伴。关于非物质遗产（音乐、戏剧）领域的地区文化活动及其在流行病时期的影响的定量和定性证据;一系列对东北部流行病（及其文化和社会影响）的未来研究具有潜在意义的工作。
