Saturday 29th May (performances at 3pm & 8pm)Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff Tickets: £12 - £8 Box Office: +44 (0)29 2030 4400 or www.chapter.org Welsh Independent Dance (WID) in collaboration with Chapter Arts Centre is hosting the fourth leg of Dance Roads, a biennial touring event, which offers audiences the opportunity to view the work of selected artists from Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands and Wales. Dance Roads was founded in 1990 by a worldwide group of dance organisations dedicated to supporting emerging and ground- breaking dance artists. The programme of original dance works is presented in each of the countries involved, exposing new work to a fully international audience. Virginie Brunelle (Canada): Foutrement Combining classical movement with a contemporary approach, Foutrement explores love spoiled by the temptation of forbidden fruit. The choreography embodies the pain that we impose upon ourselves in triangular relationships, when the world is at once cold, tender, violent and harrowing. Lars Dahl Pedersen (Denmark): Running Sculpture Energetic and synchronized pieces of dance are mixed with sculptural calmness and lascivious movement. A combination of dance, music and lights define a journey between different states of mind in this beautiful pas-de-deux. Ambra Senatore (Italy): Passo Ambra Senatore won Rome’s Premio Equilibrio 09 contemporary dance prize with this study of the blurring of reality and fiction. Something that initially appears one way reveals itself as something else, and later still, something different again. Jens van Daele (Netherlands): Battre le fer "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. No one listens; they simply lash out." This accelerating duel, danced by two women mixed up in a desperate battle, is about forces and characters, inflexibility and blind struggle. Cai Tomos (Wales): Calon Chapter regular Cai Tomos returns with this anatomical, emotional and cultural examination of the heart as a symbol we identify with. Calon mixes the scientific with personal stories and celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary moments of human experience. Tomos traces a journey of the heart from the beginning to the very last moment.
