WILD on the Beach

Watergate Bay is such a beautiful place and we felt very lucky to have the opportunity to make a piece of work there. Road to the Beach / The Edge was a major participatory performance event developed in partnership with The Works, Creative Partnerships Cornwall and The Extreme Academy involving local dancers and children from local schools, culminating in the performance, The Edge, on the beach at Watergate. To date, it's the only show we've ever made for performance on a beach so it still holds some really special memories for us. So coming back after all these years to perform WILD feels very special. It's the first time we'll perform the show on a beach so it's a new and exciting experience for us!

It’s going to be a completely new experience performing WILD on a beach and we're really looking forward to it. We're used to performing the show in lots of different places, often with a cityscape background, so it's going to be exciting to have the sea as a backdrop. When the dancers stand on top of the poles it will be such a breath-taking view looking out over the sea.

WILD is about our relationship with the natural world so it feels very fitting to be sharing the show with nature all around. 

The show is perfect for the whole family and all ages. There’s something in it for everyone.

We hope that the show will move people and perhaps give them an opportunity to reflect on our world as well as that sense of shared enjoyment that people get from watching live work together - and in such an incredible setting.
