<p><b> </b>At Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff</p>
<p>11th - 14th July, 8pm</p>
<p>Witness three exceptional dancers as they explore the making of their own choreographic portraits.</p>
<p>Dancers Ino Riga, Eeva-Maria Mutka and Annabeth Berkeley generously share their practice and processes and explain who they are and what dance is to them.</p>
<p>The unique performances that result are both elaborate and supremely personal: as idiosyncratic as the women who dance them.</p>
<p>Three attempts of excellence, intimacy and honesty in performance. </p>
