Bringing together the spiritual, physical and technological, thought-provoking, engaging and rich in rhythms and images, Physical TV's award-winning physical films regularly screen nationally and internationally at film festivals and on television, and can be viewed on The Physical TV Channel on YouTube.

"Over the years Richard and his Physical TV Company have shown true passion, creativity and innovation in the field of dance and media through consistently pushing the boundaries and producing intriguing, beautiful and high-quality pieces.” Sabine Klaus, Creation Editor
"Their choreography has predominantly been an exploration of the human condition using the medium of film and video. The content is often playful and light-hearted, but by no means lightweight, and is always delivered with enormous passion and conviction."Chrissie Parrott, dancewest magazine.
