The company received a Bonnie Bird UK New Choreographers Award in November 2005 and were awarded The Place Robin Howard Commission 2007 to create <em>Hungry Ghost</em>s for the newly launched Spring Loaded season. Lost Dog have also been choreographers in residence at the MADE in Umea Festival, Sweden and were commissioned to create <em>The Over-Head Project</em> for The Place White Xmas Season 2005 and <em>River Lethe</em> for EDge 2006 [LCDS postgraduate company]. In 2007/8 Lost Dog created works for Transition, <em>Intoto</em> and <em>From Here to Maturity</em>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-306" src="http://dancedigital.org.uk/files/2009/10/KMA-472x198.jpg" alt="KMA" width="472" height="198" />KMA is a collaboration between UK media artists Kit Monkman and Tom Wexler. Their work is primarily focused on illuminating, encouraging, and developing, interactions between people in public spaces using projected light. In 2008 KMA were commissioned to create a new piece for DanceDigital, <em><a href="http://dancedigital.org.uk/2009/11/waves/">Waves</a></em><em>, </em>an interactive light installation, which was presented in Southend and Chelmsford.</p>
<p>KMA’s work creates large, immersive, sometimes networked, ‘digital playgrounds’, in which distinctions between audiences and performers disappear. The resulting social engagements reaffirm the urban community through embodied, rather than verbal, discourse.</p>
<p>These massive engagements in social play generate diverse audiences, free from social barriers. The participants take ownership of the work and the environment in which it is staged, creating a sense of event that in itself informs and illuminates the public space.</p>
