SILENT LINES
Silent Lines 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. The piece investigates a range of poetic possibilities from internal and external environments, the microcosm and the macrocosm.
Drawing on methodologies from a variety of dynamically different movement disciplines and setting the action within a world of animated light and atmospheric sound, Silent Lines explores the endless web of connections we encompass and embody.
SILENT LINES is co-produced by Sadler’s Wells and supported by Arts Council England, DanceEast, Cockayne, The London Community Foundation, Ipswich Borough Council, and Lancaster Arts.
Private supporters include Primrose Bell, Simon Bishop, Jules & Cheryl Burns, Matt Cooper, Denis Shafranik, Jake & Sandi Ulrich, Jeffrey Garner and Harry MacAuslan.
