A woman in a red flowing outfits sits on the floor, leaning back. A red blur, almost like fire sits above her chair.

Witness a bold celebration of movement and music with Richard Chappell Dance’s acclaimed work Hot House.

This powerful performance about the strength of shared connection, compassion, and courage, creates a wave of heat and spiritual energy that radiates far beyond the stage. 

With thrilling highly physical contemporary dance, striking atmospheric lighting, and a bold soundtrack that blends Chinese, Indian, and European classical traditions with the pulse of House and Garage music; Hot House is a love letter to how music can give us an irresistible urge to move and feel. 

Based in Devon, Richard Chappell creates memorable and moving dance experiences for audiences across the UK and beyond, on stage, screen, and in-person. The company works at the forefront of interdisciplinary collaboration and has previously created works for the Royal Ballet and Opera, BBC Arts, and Rambert.
