Silence Between Waves is a collaborative dance performance curated and choreographed by Richard Chappell about what it means to be ‘home’ told through movement and sound. Silence Between Waves brings together a cast of three exceptional Singaporean dancers with a community cast drawn from Torbay. It is an invitation for audiences to consider what home means to them, set within the arresting landscape and seascape of Berry Head. The performance connects two places across the sea by reflecting on home and far away. Silence Between Waves will be performed as part of (Extra)ordinary, 10 days of original work commissioned by Eyeview, Torbay’s Great Place Scheme Cultural Programme.

Dance in Devon is leading on the community engagement element of the project, organising workshops led by Richard Chappell with the following groups:
• Lifeworks College
• ROC Creative, Torbay
• Step in Time, Older People’s Dance Group
• Spires College
• Brixham College
Following the workshops, rehearsals will take place to piece together the final performance – led by Richard Chappell.

Public performances will take place on Sunday 9th June 2019. More info on the performance.
