With support from Arts Council England and DanceEast, EncoreEast is working with RMDC dancers Alethia Antonia and Edd Arnold on a performance project inspired by Russell Maliphant’s production, ‘Silent Lines’.
This practical workshop will be led by Alethia Antonia and Edd Arnold. It will include a movement based introduction to Russell Maliphant’s artistic practice and explore the approach being taken in the project with EncoreEast.

Silent Lines was created in 2019 and supported by Arts Council England, DanceEast, Cockayne, The London Community Foundation, Ipswich Borough Council, and Lancaster Arts. The piece was co-produced by Sadler’s Wells It was inspired by Maliphant’s research and explorations in movement and anatomy to create rich and resonant aesthetics for the stage using a blend of music, movement, animated video projection, and lighting. Drawing on methodologies from a variety of movement disciplines and setting the movement within a world of animated light and atmospheric sound, Silent Lines explores the endless web of connections we encompass and embody. The film is currently available on Marquee TV.
