A sequence from Tra Mi Dinh’s 'Somewhere between ten and fourteen', which features in Sydney Dance Company's 2025 season. The photo depicts four barefoot dancers in blue coveralls dancing on a blue-lit stage. The dancer on the far left has their legs spread, their right arm raised and their left arm extended horizontally; the dancer on the right, who is the focus of the focus, stands in a half-crouch, her arms extended to the right and her right foot bent so that the side of the foot rather than her sole is touching the stage.
