Chappell’s first full-length production for a mid-scale stage, Infinite Ways Home sees six performers explore their perceptions of reality through other-worldly experiences, connecting ideas of Celtic traditions of ritual with modern day experiences of rave culture.
Combining Chappell’s diverse choreographic language of ballet, contemporary dance and improvisation, this multisensory production looks to redefine our sense of community, connectivity and home.
Featuring music from Cardiff based electronic duo Larch (Matthew Allmark and Kai Hellstrom) alongside live violin by Enyuan Khong, Infinite Ways Home is a vibrant feast of colour and pulsating sound.
Alongside the production, Richard Chappell Dance will deliver a large-scale intergenerational participatory project across Exeter. Designed to directly lead into Infinite Ways Home the project will give community participants a unique insight into the productions creative process and artistic ensemble. Featuring a series of workshops and performance, the project culminates in an original dance film about togetherness and community empowerment.
