Setting is a dance work that accumulates around two people. Their personal histories, interactions, first impressions, communications, possessions, desires and details of daily life resolve into a concrete visual diagram of what they have in common and what sets them apart.

The duet made in Japan as a double bill with Japanese choreographer, Kota Yamazaki’s Chamisa 4degreesC. The double bill was instigated by the Australia Japan Dance Exchange (AJDX) and comprised 10 events in both countries in 2006.

Co-produced by JCDN & Hirano Productions as part of Australia-Japan Dance Exchange 2006
