This was the work that was to start the extraordinary working relationship between Butcher and dancer Elena Giannotti. The concept with filmmaker Martin Otter was based around the journey of the British explorer Shackleton. Three dancers Giannotti, Anise Smith and Anna Holter moved in counterpoint to a five-meter projection screen with the dancers on live and pre-recorded images. The score by Cathy Lane hauntingly evoked the horror of Shackleton's journey.
