Inhale and hold

Keep on eye out and join in what sounds like a thrilling combination of dance, music hall, daring feats and swimming lessons, which is Inhale and Hold – an endurance event which will splash its way through Devon from north to south between July 10 and 14.

Plopping between all kinds of waterside locations – lido, riverbank, moat and shore (and possibly even puddle) – an intrepid group of four dancing men, plus lifeguard’s tower, will be accompanied by a miniature band, for their dancing take on the water courses of the county.

It’s all part of the Big Dance, and this element, which is called Ripples: Inhale and Hold is led by Sarah Shorten, who is renowed for creating dance in unusual spaces and places.

With nose plugs, swimming caps and flippers (not to mention aqua-lung) at the ready, we here at the PRSD will be following their progress through the eight locations. Everyone is invited, but be sure not to eat for at least an hour before the event… p’raps.
