"INK" will be a collaborative work with choreographer and dancer, Narumi Kitamura; musician and composer, Makoto Inada; and installation lighting artist, Shota Takahasi. Denborough has proved popular in Japan and around the world. This year she worked with Compagnie Par.b.leux performing in 100 Recontres for the Kunsten Festival des Arts in Brussels and the Festival Montpellier Danse. She is a recipient of a 2003 Asialink grant and will be Choreographer in Residence at Dance Box, Osaka, for 2 months. Denborough is Artistic Director of Kage Physical Theatre, winner of the Jury Prize in the 12th Saitama International Dance Contest. The philosophy behind Kage is to present Dance Theatre which is both rich and raw in its physicality and humour. Movement and design are entwined with an architectural purity to reflect contemporary art, music and fashion. Denborough said of her experience at the Saitama contest "It was a fantastic opportunity for Kage to compete in an international atmosphere. We are thrilled with the response to our work and it is great that, as a small Australian company, we can be leaders in our field." In July 2000 Kage was invited to perform "This Side Up" at the World Dance 2000 Asian Next Wave (Choreographed by Denborough and commissioned by Chunky Move). From April - July 2001 Denborough took up residence at the Australia Council Studio at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris. On return to Australia, in October this year Denborough will direct the world premier of "Nowhere Man" at the Melbourne International Arts Festival. "INK" is sponsored by the Australia International Cultural Council and the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs.
