Semi-Final 1 - Aletta Collins/Ribin Dingeman/Simon Ellis/Saiko Kino/Chisago Minamimura
Aletta Collins is creating a solo (title tbc) for dancer Rachel Krische, which will be a dialogue between Rachel and her laptop. The piece features music by Peter Morris and Mieko Shimizu at Street Furniture. Robin Dingemans'
Going on Infinity is a duet featuring Joanne Fong and Delphine Gaborit that will use dance, light, text and sound in a 15 minute sensorial kidnapping. Robin has described the piece as, "not merely a hedonistic intoxification of the senses, but an engaging heightening of them." Simon Ellis presents
Gertrud, an imagined conversation between choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (who died in 1959) and Simon, a solo performer. The piece challenges today's 'culture of forgetting' by bringing a personality from the past, voiced in Austrian and English by two women who danced with Bodenwieser in the 1930s and 40s, to vivid life.

For quite some time Saiko Kino has been thinking about how choreographers can expand an audience's imagination and heighten our senses. A collaboration with Shizuka Hariu (set), Jackie Shemesh (lighting) and dancer Takashi Ueno, Saiko's piece will be about the dual effects of light and darkness - part fantasy and part sacred, like a Japanese ghost story (a kaidan). Chisato Minamimura's
Canon for Duet is a duet with music and film created by Akira Baba and Chisato herself. The piece will be unique in directly addressing her deafness, posing the question what is visual sound/music? She is interested in how this visual music is created, and will look at the importance of the body - the dancers’ faces and hands, as well as their movements. Robin Howard Dance Theatre
