Exceptional talents have teamed up for the production of VUONG 10, an exploration of human interactions in the digital age.

Originally curated by Wayne McGregor for “Randomworks”, the first ever evening of contemporary dance at Kings Place, and 8 minutes long, the piece has been developed into a full length performance with live music from Leafcutter John and Max Baillie.

VUONG 10 explores the yearning for physical communication in an era where we have to learn how to touch each other again and to share our internal space. The intention to connect, to explore each other’s movements, to interact and respond, spawned the intriguing musical and physical landscape of the piece. Two dancers explore each other’s body, showing glimpses of a plausible future that is infused with dark beauty.

Choreographers Nina Kov (Place Prize semi-finalist 2012) and Catarina Carvalho (Wayne McGregor | Random Dance) with a special contribution by Michael-John Harper (Wayne McGregor | Random Dance) have been working with musicians Leafcutter John (Polar Bear) and Max Baillie (Aurora Orchestra) to investigate human connections and response to the music.

The interlinked nature of music and dance in VUONG 10 makes it a contemporary music concert as well as a contemporary dance piece, and can be recommended for fans of both genres.

Supported by Arts Council England, The Deptford Lounge, Into / Out Of, JW3, Rich Mix. Thanks to Wayne McGregor | Random Dance for the kind mentoring.

Richmix: Saturday 13th Dec 7:30pm. Book tickets here
