A storm is coming. The traditional men with sticks are about
to face the women with pebbles. The traditional Morris Ring have danced while
crossing wood in time to their harmonious folk music. And now, as the Morris
Men grow old and seek new blood; their counterparts have formed the Morris
Federation. Womenfolk don’t necessarily
throw stones but want to be part of the traditional movement; and have formed
their own society. And so, now that Morris men are no longer hard core
traditional dancers but old men dancing in gaiety, they’re dying out. And the
Morris federation wants to give them a run for their money. Is it time that the
traditional dancers lowered their sticks? Should traditional values be lowered
so that the existence can continue? It’s the epic battle of survival of man
versus woman. Stone will beat stick. And of course, hankies will most certainly
be waved.
