The Place Prize Semi-Final 2
Time: 8:00 pm
Temitope Ajose-Cutting's Whispers unlocks the secrets of four characters' pasts, present and futures. The FM Flash will create an original, raw edged score, blurring the boundaries between the musicians and performers. The piece will look at how these four individuals see themselves and deal with their festering secrets when they are alone and in relationships.
Victoria Fox's Human Shadows (working title) is a high powered, visceral and intense piece of dance theatre, exploring our instincts for survival, power, dependency and personal fears. Unresolved encounters take place between two couples and a shadow, whose lives are entangled and interconnected. The piece features performers Welly O'Brien, Jason Keenan-Smith, Aneta Szydlak, Marek Zawalski and Victoria herself.
Adam Linder's Foie Gras is based around the circumstances fueling the current climate of mass material and entertainment consumption, where the connection between one’s self and society is increasingly tenuous. The grave fear of status inferiority is desensitising and fracturing inter-personal relations.“Down with a world in which the guarantee that we will not die of starvation has been purchased with the guarantee that we will die of boredom” Raoul Vaneigem. Adam performs with Lorena Randi.
Amor Fati (working title) will be a solo danced by Colin Poole exploring the Nietzchean theme of fate. The piece will be an artistic collaboration of light provided by collaborator Chahine Yavyoran, set, speech and sound.
Anna Williams is interested in the ordinary and the extraordinary, the epic and the intimate. All are all present in this duet about a woman who dances and a man who does not, very loosely based on the myth of Orfeo and Euridyce. It will be performed by Anna and Mark Whitelaw (The Glee Club, Ducky).
