Why Not Dance?" is an intriguing contemporary dance production showcasing innovative works that portray the vast possibilities in dance. The choreographers are bold in exploring the endless possibilities in dance movements, employing creative techniques coupled with original ideas to engage the audience.
Experienced choreographer Mr Henry Ng Chay Kuang leveraged on his strong dance background in his piece entitled “Life • Unpredictable” It seeks to express the ups and downs as well as unforeseeable circumstances one may encounter in life. Yet so long as one remains convicted and holds onto one’s beliefs, he will still be able to attain success.
We are honored to have 2 guest choreographers from Dance Ensemble Singapore – Ms Cai Shiji and Ms Goh Yandan – to put together 2 separate items for this performance. In “Wind • Thunder” Ms Cai Shiji, who recently graduated from further dance studies at the Tisch School of Dance in New York, United States, drew inspiration from these natural geological phenomena to characterize her reflections of these imageries. Ms Goh Yandan’s piece “Eternity” takes on a different note with fluid broad movements across the stage, daring one to challenge the extremes and traverse perceived boundaries. In addition, we have also invited a professional dancer from China to collaborate in this production, adding to the diversity of the items.
More importantly, this performance provides a valuable opportunity for our budding choreographers - Mr Goh Chee Seng, Ms Janice Oei and Mr Kenneth Tan - to present their original works. Mr Goh Chee Seng explores one’s loneliness at night and longing for someone to fill up the space beside him or her in “Double pillow, single head”. Through sleek, alluring moves, Ms Janice Oei’s “Elle” is a manifestation of feminity on stage, defying conventional stereotypical traits associated with the gender. “Hide and seek” bares the heart and soul of Mr Kenneth Tan to shrug away haunting memories which pains and suffocates.
2009 marks the 8th year of establishment for Dance Horizon Troupe (Singapore) and we hope to continue to impress as well as to inspire the audience with our original works.
