ABOUT TEMITOPE
Temitope began choreographing after she graduated from London Contemporary Dance School.  She received the Bonnie Bird Choreography Award in 2005.  Her company Ajose-Cutting Dance has performed in many prestigious international venues and festivals.  ACD has had residencies in Edinburgh and New York, the latter resulting in sell-out shows at Manhattan's Joyce Soho.  Recent performances include the Summer Collection at The Royal Opera House, The Big Mission in 2006, Hip, the Woking Dance Festival and Decibel 2007.

ABOUT THE WORK
A music and movement collaboration with live performances by rock/alternative band The FM Flash, Whispers uncovers the past, present and future secrets of its four dancers.  The band's four members interact with the dancers, blurring the boundaries between themselves as musicians and significant persons in the unfolding of the four lives.
