About this event

Land Empathy explores how culture can enhance our spiritual connection to the natural world.

Richard Chappell Dance and Supporting Acts

Land Empathy was co-commissioned by Stomping Ground (Greenwich and Docklands International Festival), FABRIC, The Place, Strike A Light and Tramway with presenting partner Sismograf) and Theatre Royal Plymouth.

Inspired by the pressing challenges of the climate crisis, Richard Chappell Dance’s latest creation Land Empathy, builds on its impactful climate activism film Heart Land (BBC Arts) to explore how culture can enhance our spiritual connection to the natural world.

Featuring three dancers from RCD’s renowned ensemble, original sculptures by visual artist Anna Gillespie, and a pulsating score by electronic music duo Larch, Land Empathy weaves a powerful narrative that helps foster climate consciousness and conveys a passionate message of urgency for the future.

Completing the programme is Richard Chappell’s seminal work Silence Between Waves, a flowing and mesmerising duet inspired by Chappell’s memories and experiences of growing up on the South Devon coast.

The production also features a specially commissioned early career artist from the South West as part of the company’s Supporting Acts programme. This immersive programme shines a light on some of the dance worlds rising stars from across South West England.
