LAND EMPATHY - Greenwich and Docklands

Richard Chappell Dance - September 2024
Land Empathy is a contemporary fusion of dance and sculpture, urging us to forge a deeper and more emotionally driven connection with nature.

The Work - This urgent performance challenges us to deepen our connection with nature against the backdrop of the climate crisis, combining powerful contemporary dance with sculpture by Anna Gillespie and electronic music by Larch. The work has been conceptualised through Richard Chappell's Clore Leadership Fellowship secondment at The Centre of Alternative Technology.

Richard Chappell's creations explore human connection as an act of restoration, making space for people connect deeper with themselves, each other and the land around them. The work shines a light on what people have overcome and where they are going.
