Semi-Final 2 - Temitope Ajose-Cutting/Victoria Fox/Adam Linder/Colin Poole/Anna Williams
Temitope Ajose-Cutting's
Whispers unlocks the secrets of four characters' pasts, present and futures. FM Flash will create an original, raw edged score, blurring the boundaries between the musicians and performers. The piece will look at how these four individuals see themselves and deal with their festering secrets when they are alone and in relationships. Victoria Fox's
Human Shadows (working title) is a high powered, visceral and intense piece of dance theatre, exploring our instincts for survival, power, dependency and personal fears. Unresolved encounters take place between two couples and a shadow, whose lives are entangled and interconnected. The piece features performers Welly O'Brien, Jason Keenan-Smith, Aneta Szydlak, Marek Zawalski and Victoria herself. Adam Linder's
The Boredom Killing Business is based around the circumstances fueling the current climate of material, information and entertainment overload. The work observes the demise of sensuality within personal interactions as a result of the immediacy of over consumption and a desperation for self gratification. He is inspired by the artists including Jean Cocteau, Kenneth Anger and Kate Bush.
Amor Fati (working title) will be a solo danced by Colin Poole exploring the Nietzchean theme of fate. The piece will be an artistic collaboration of light provided by collaborator Chahine Yavyoran, set, speech and sound. Anna Williams is interested in the ordinary and the extraordinary, the epic and the intimate. All are all present in this duet about a woman who dances and a man who does not, very loosely based on the myth of Orfeo and Euridyce. It will be performed by Anna and Mark Whitelaw (The Glee Club, Ducky). Robin Howard Dance Theatre
