Anyone is welcome to join in with the Kate Bush flash mob and many have ! The "Bush Rush" has been alive in Lancaster for 10 years and many people have enjoyed dancing to the iconic Wuthering Heights song. We want to make this even more of a show by collaborating with the global phenomena that is Rimskis Piano . Live vocals sang by the glorious Handkerchief and a mobile upright piano played by Rimski are the missing piece of the act that we have longed for and the opportunity now presents itself to bring the two together at Lancaster Music Festival this October. At a series of free outdoor shows the public are invited to join in with the dance moves , this time accompanied by beautiful live vocals and live music on a mobile upright piano. Its not just street theatre . Its high quality, top class, open to all street theatre created to inspire , delight and entertain.

What we'll deliver:

  • 4 live outdoor performances of Rimski and The Rush
  • The opportunity to join in with the Kate Bush dance routine to the iconic Wuthering Heights Song

Why it's a great idea:

Free Entertainment and the Feel good factor for local, regional and national audience. Increased economic benefit to Lancaster Creation of a new collaborative act inspiring more free public art Inspiration for new local street theatre in Lancaster

Steps to get it done:

  • Online practice with live music and solo dance August 2024
  • Live practice with multiple dancers and a recording of the live song Sept 2024
  • First run through with live piano and live dancers as a live practice Oct 24
