Say it’s not true - A solo for female dancer by Norman Douglas, set to the music of Alfred Schnittke. This piece is a disturbing meditation of one woman’s life. Her name was Camille Claudel and she was one of the great artists of the late 19th century. This solo is the choreographer’s response to the later period of her tragic life and not a biographical statement of her loss of liberty and sadness. It is a comment on a society that she could not be allowed to survive in. (for Camille 1864 - 1943). Duration 10mins. Touching Tongues - Danced by artistic director Norman Douglas, this solo is a dark look a world behind closed doors. What secrets does this man hide? Why is he so afraid to let the world touch him? Caught up in his hysteria and paranoia he confides and then tortures the only person who knows his secrets, his teddy bear. Duration 10mins. Chora - Chora is a space, which is both eternal, and indestructible. It provides a position for everything that comes into being. The work explores the psychoanalytic challenge of the other self or the clash of ego’s that constantly fight for control within the deranged depths of the disillusioned mind. The archaic drive to separate is constantly fighting the suffocating needs of the other. Duration 14mins 47secs
