Opponent fuses boxing and dance to present a hybrid choreographic performance that investigates the different emotions and creative desires that lie behind these diverse forms of movement. Featuring Ahmet Patterson, British Southern Area Welterweight Champion, the viewer is presented with two very different expressions of masculinity.

The film forms part of a longer film, The Taste & Ache of Action, currently in development Charlotte Ginsborg is working with five boxers to develop further dance and spoken word performances.
