At The End We Begin - Richard Chapell Dance

Taking inspiration from T.S. Eliot's classic series Four Quartets, At the end we begin consists of four compelling and arresting quartets of dance, based and named after each poem. Collectively, At the end we begin questions how time affects our understanding of ourselves as a point of departure and inhabits the derelict and sometimes turbulent landscape of Eliot's poetry. At the end we begin takes four individuals from a place of being lost to a state of empowerment and acceptance where they have found their own voice by journeying through Eliot's text.

At The End We Begin was developed during a 5 week residency at Studio Wayne McGregor and premiered in 2017 before touring across the South of England.

Choreographed by Richard Chappell, the work features 4 dancers with dramaturgy by Neus Gil Cortes, an original score composed by Samuel Hall and costume by Hannah Taylor.
