PULSE Performance by LEVEL’s Performance Company. A short documentation of a multimedia performance featuring a soundtrack created from recordings of the river Derwent, its industrial heritage and its wildlife.

DERWENT PULSE a large scale environmental light installation by Charles Monkhouse, was a celebration of the River Derwent and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. It wove together past, present and future histories of the river, its culture and its people. Its pulsating Light Flow beat out the historic pulse of the mills as it travelled from the river’s source on Bleaklow to its mouth on the Trent.
