Company Chameleon have spent much of January 2011 in the studio rehearsing their two new solos…
Second Grace choreographed by Anthony Missen, is communicated as a narrative, taking the experience of soldier at war to reveal a universal struggle. A study on the search for ones own truth, to not behave blindly and act in ways that are put upon us by a 'higher authority'. It is about finding the courage and strength to go against the grain, to live by ones own belief system, even if no one else around does.

Shattered choreographed by Kevin Edward Turner. A tattooed character, both the actor and the narrator of his experience, unpicks the strands of memory and circumstance that delivered him to the place he now resides. A discourse on the conception of 'Shattered' in all its permutations.
As well as rehearsing their own solo works, on 5 December 2010 and 5 January 2011 auditions were held at the Contact Theatre in Manchester, and from these auditions Anthony Missen and Kevin Edward Turner selected 5 emerging artists to work with over a two week choreographic residency. From Monday 24 January 2011 through to Friday 4 February 2011, Anthony and Kevin will be creating original solos with the 5 selected artists, which will be performed at the Contact Theatre alongside the world premiere of Second Grace and Shattered on Saturday 5 February 2011, to form an evening of new Dance-Theatre works called 7.
