The Heave is a new dance film set to be released later on this month. Inspired by the Northumberland coast, The Heave will be screened at Cambois Hidden Depths, an innovative heritage and arts project aiming to uncover the fascinating history of a Northumberland coastal village.
The Heave is inspired by the history of the Cambois lifeboat and the 200th anniversary of the RNLI will be premiered and projected on the front of Cambois Miners Welfare Institute building. Developed by dance artist Esther Huss, inspired by historic photographs and produced by Meerkat Films, The Heave explores the incredible resilience of the women who played a vital role in launching life-saving vessels in a tradition spanning over a century, through the medium of dance. The projected film will be visible from the dunes and will be accompanied by live performances by professional dance artist Skye Reynolds.
Cambois Hidden Depths will see the village transformed into a hub of heritage and arts on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th September 2024, bringing the area’s rich history to life.
Presented by November Club and The Tute, working with producer Sarah Hudson and funded by National Lottery players and local council, the multi-disciplinary project encourages local people to explore the history of Cambois through art, photography, dance and storytelling.
The two-day event will feature a series of seven exhibitions and installations at multiple venues across Cambois, including dance, film screenings, photography exhibitions and an immersive audio experience.
