Dartington Hall was a social experiment of kaleidoscopic vitality,
set up in Devon in 1925 by a fabulously wealthy American heiress,
Dorothy Elmhirst (nee Whitney), and her Yorkshire-born husband,
Leonard. It quickly achieved international fame with its
progressive school, craft production and wide-ranging artistic
endeavours. Dartington was a residential community of students,
teachers, farmers, artists and craftsmen committed to revivifying
life in the countryside. It was also a socio-cultural laboratory,
where many of the most brilliant interwar minds came to test out
their ideas about art, society, spirituality and rural
regeneration. To this day, Dartington Hall remains a symbol of
countercultural experimentation and a centre for arts, ecology and
social justice. Practical Utopia presents a compelling portrait of
a group of people trying to live out their ideals, set within an
international framework, and demonstrates Dartington's tangled
affinities with other unity-seeking projects across Britain and in
India and America.
