BUDLEIGH Salterton's beach will on Wednesday April 29 become a stage for nationally-acclaimed dancer Charlie Morrissey.
The night time performance looking at the relationship between humans and the environment takes place at 8,30pm under the cliffs west of Steamers Steps.
The performance, created by Mr Morrissey, is a mix between live dance and images which will be projected onto the cliff face.
The performance is part of Deep Time - a trilogy of events taking place along the Jurassic Coast until the end of the year.
Anyone wishing to take part in the performance is invited to turn up at 5pm on the day where they will be taught a simple sequence of dance moves.
As darkness falls, the group will perform the moves to music with the sea in the background.
