ABOUT ADAM
Adam has danced with The Royal Ballet, Netherlands DanceTheatre, The Michael Clark Company and Bonachela Dance Company. In 2005 he created Over My Dead Body for The Lucent Theatre in Holland. In 2006, he set up www.collectnudes.com, an online exhibition and archive of short film in collaboration with photographer Will Davidson. Their films have been broadcast on UK, Australian and Spanish television. In 2008 he created The Perfect Score for The Place in London and presented an installation entitled I Put My Trust In You at The Palais De Tokyo, Paris.

ABOUT THE WORK
In a climate of mass material and entertainment consumption the connection between one’s self and society is increasingly tenuous. The grave fear of status inferiority is desensitizing and fracturing inter-personal relations.

“Down with a world in which the guarantee that we will not die of starvation has been purchased with the guarantee that we will die of boredom.” Raoul Vaneigem

The glorious Lorena Randi will perform with Adam in this work.

WHERE YOU'VE SEEN HIM
Adam was recently seen throughout the country on tour in Rafael Bonachela's Square Map of Q4.  He presented The Perfect Score in this year's Resolution! season at The Place. Adam performed with Bonachela Dance Company at the Venice Biennial on 14 & 15 June.

Foie Gras has been selected as a finalist for The Place Prize, and will be performed nightly from Wed 17 - Sat 27 September (excluding Sun 21 September).
