The Place Prize is the biggest single source of commissions for new short works in British dance. Over the course of four previews you'll see the first performances of all 16 commissioned works.
Programme 1
Saju Hari The Program
"The Program is inspired by the theatrical experiences I had in general life after the London bombings. Many of us had to adapt a form of ultra-normal behaviour; everybody and everything was suspicious, powerful and powerless, normal and abnormal."
Saju Hari is a freelance dancer and choreographer who has recently toured with Akram Khan Company.
Dane Hurst WW3
Tension, conflict and euphoria are felt first in the body, organs and muscles, before being verbally communicated. What happens when we extract, physicalise and isolate the internal conflicts that continually envelop us? WW3 aims to exhibit the mental and physical discharges of conflict confrontation.
Dane Hurst, one of Rambert Dance Company’s leading performers, combines poetry and choreography to extract movement that excavates hidden tensions, conflicts and euphoria.
Frauke Requardt & Freddie Opoku-Addaie Fidelity Project
In this experiment Freddie and Frauke become choreographers from the inside. After a good few years of directing from the outside based on visual information, the two will make choreographic decisions focusing on the sensory memory of their physical negotiation with each other.
Frauke Requardt and Freddie Opoku-Addaie, respectively the co-creator of the recent site-specific work Electric Hotel and Associate Artist at the Royal Opera House, collaborate for the first time on a piece investigating sensation and opposition.
Vera Tussing The Icarus Project
What is the relationship between sound and movement? How do they become associated in the mind? How can sound define a space or movement? What is the physicality of a sound? Listen. Observe. Fly. Let yourself be taken on a journey.
Vera Tussing, a dance artist who has collaborated extensively with Albert Quesada, examines the relationship between sound and movement, how the two become associated in our mind and how this can define a space or movement.
