Details

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. 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." 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. From One Place to Another - 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. 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.
