IN OPTIMO CITY, THE ALMOST PERFECT TOWN
A 45 minute work in progress duet made and performed by Charlotte
Vincent and TC Howard
with a soundtrack by John
Avery.
Two women caught between action and inaction, between movement and words.
Tied to gender roles they can no longer make sense of, and exploring the
clichés of love in a loveless universe, they get lost, alone, in
familiar places. They drive themselves out of their minds and into each
other's arms. A search amongst the concrete, for something to believe in.
In Optimo City, the Almost Perfect Town was commissioned
by Yorkshire Dance
and Dance Xchange
to explore the relationship between text and movement. Funded by Sheffield
City Arts, Yorkshire and Humberside Arts and Sheffield and Rotherham Dance
Project, In Optimo City, the Almost Perfect Town was performed
in London, Leeds and Birmingham.
