Work:: The Place Prize (S670676715)


Production:: Semi Final 2 - Desire Lines (working title)/Aftermath (working title)/Lost Dog/Hinterview (working title) (T981137942)

The Place Prize is the biggest single source of commissions for new short works in British dance. In the Semi-Finals you'll be able to vote on each of the four commissions performing each night. The piece with the highest average score goes through to the Finals. Desire Lines - (working title) "Desire lines are the pathways that people create in order to make their lives more efficient. My commission, also called Desire Lines, uses literal and metaphorical pathways as a starting point for a reflection on the nature of desire and love." Aftermath - Based upon experiences of growing up in Omagh, Northern Ireland, Aftermath follows four characters struggling to exist in an area of conflict, and the effects terrorist acts can have upon these individuals. Lost Dog - Hard times at the human zoo. There is only one exhibit left open and the male and female occupants are resorting to extreme measures to draw the crowds. A piece about the nature of live entertainment. Hinterview - "The various parts follow each other like various stages of a voyage to the interior of a theme, the interior of a thought, the interior of a unique situation, the understanding of which recedes from my sight into the distance" (Milan Kundera).
