1 band. 2 square meters. 3 dance makers. endless possibilities… UNFINISHED brings together dance and live music in unusual locations.

A platform to share and connect people through dance and music, UNFINISHED brings together Cape Town’s independent dance companies and a selection of classical and experimental musicians. This Darkroom Contemporary initiative invites dance makers to create short works outside of their comfort zones, in a short space of time, and using a small space to perform them in, while the musical input acts as the catalyst and driving force behind the performance.

Each dance is performed to live musical accompaniment, may only use an area of 2m², and is created using a maximum of four rehearsal sessions – hence “unfinished” to a degree.

Dancers and musicians never meet before the performance.Everything comes together on the night.Expect the unexpected.

VOL. 1 features music by BENGUELA, with NEW WORLD DANCE THEATRE & YAOTL PHYSICAL ART COMPANY.
