Internationally acclaimed Company Chameleon present 7 new Dance-Theatre works at Contact. 'Second Grace' choreographed by Anthony Missen, is communicated as a narrative, taking the experience of a soldier at war to reveal a universal struggle. A study on the search for ones own truth, to not behave blindly and act in ways that are put upon us by a 'higher authority'. It is about finding the courage and strength to go against the grain, to live by ones own belief system, even if no one else around does. 'Shattered' choreographed by Kevin Edward Turner. A tattooed character, both the actor and the narrator of his experience, unpicks the strands of memory and circumstance that delivered him to the place he now resides. A discourse on the conception of 'Shattered' in all its permutations.
