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. Slaughter - Slaughter is a cut-throat dance drama performed to Richard Rogers’ classic Slaughter on 10th Avenue. Set amidst the complex social and sexual politics of Manhattan, Slaughter follows the journeys of three contrasting characters, leading to their ultimate deaths at the hands of jealousy, drugs and the struggle for power. Cameo (working title) - Their work will challenge the conventional narrative relationship between framing, sound and non-verbal communication signs, as used in suspense films. The aim is to translate these cinematic features into a theatrical construction playing with the audience’s perceptions. The Devil and the Details (working title) - "I have been working on revealing my inner dictator for some time, in the hope that it may not manifest quite as much in my everyday life. This is a truth about myself... which I am laughing at." Between Identities (working title) - This solo performance will expose the alternative realities of our inner and outer worlds. Exploring notions of anonymity and loss of external identity while revealing an inner world of associations and imaginings, this will be a dark but quirky glimpse into distorted reality.
