A dance performance by a newly-formed company of regional dance artists, exploring the simple everyday object of the chair, as a response to ‘A String Section’ by Reckless Sleepers. Take A Seat looks at what is possible for a human body to do in, on, with, or around a chair, and what the chair can mean: as a place of home, refuge, reflection, rest; but also as a place of separation and isolation.
Take A Seat is a collaboration between Dance in Devon, Reckless Sleepers and Devon-based professional dance artists following a residency in Torbay. This residency, led by Mole Wetherell of Reckless Sleepers in partnership with Dance in Devon, offers professional dancers from across the region a playful and collaborative opportunity to develop their practice. Exploring the conceptual approach taken by Reckless Sleepers in creating ‘A String Section’, they will also draw on their own choreographic practice to create this original performance. The dance artists performing in Take A Seat are drawn from across the region including those living and working in Torbay.
Take A Seat is co-produced by the Eyeview team and Dance in Devon.
