Russell Maliphant Company - Silent Lines

The Olivier Award winning Russell Maliphant Company presents Silent Lines a ground-breaking new dance production with video artist Panagiotis Tomaras and new team of exceptional dancers.

Drawing upon Maliphant’s research and explorations in dance and anatomy using a unique mix of movement, animated video projection, and lighting, the piece investigates a range of poetic possibilities, using the visually rich and resonant connections between internal and external worlds, the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Drawing on methodologies from a variety of movement disciplines and setting these within a world of animated light, Silent Lines explores the endless web of connections we encompass and embody.
