Tea Revives the World

Tea Revives the World in four parts, by Alexandra Baybutt and Ben Gwalchmai is a site-specific performance experiment, in four parts, inspired in part by the piers of Greenwich and The Cutty Sark, the tea-clipper ship that traded tea all over the globe. Set against the riverside and the shifting Thames shoreline, the performance involves movement, sculptural costume and water. The actions of everyday rituals, tea-picking and voyages of the body and trade are woven together to explore the unique history of Greenwich and our relationship to this past.

Parts 1, 2 and 3 are smaller vignettes leading up to Part 4

Tea Revives the World is funded by Greenwich Dance’s Leg-up Bursary for emerging dance artists.
