 5 Men Dancing gather periodically to perform without script and without steps, with a fierce commitment to unstructured improvisation. The work is therefore edgy, unpredictable, poignant and often very funny.
 
 
 
 
 
Adam has been performing with Chieko Matsumura and other dancers in Japan since 2003. In 2006 they were joined by Ritsuko Tsumaki and Kayako Takahashi. The performances take place in different settings each year in the city of Maebashi in Gunma Province. This years dates are 22/23 March 2008

Angels of Incidence  Scottish Dance Theatre  
 
In this specially commissioned piece directed by award winning choreographer Adam Benjamin, SDT expands its cast to include four disabled performers from around the world.   Angels of Incidence  opens us to a world of unheralded encounters, where the impact of a meeting changes the angle of life's trajectory; from the ordinary into the impossible, the mundane into the majestic. This is life seen through through eyes of angels.
"The most beautifully crafted work of this impressive season(Johannesburg Dance Umbrella 2006) has to be Adam Benjamin's Second Time Broken, performed with grace and expertise by Cape Town's Remix Dance Project"

“An extraordinary example of integrated dance. Darkly lyrical, epic yet intimate, it flows like a disorienting, episodic dream”.
                                                                                  Donald Hutera, THE TIMES
 
 
Gradually unpacks and becomes mysterious and magical. Like little snippets of a dream. Wonderful response from the audience.
