About The Performance
‘Dancing in Place’ is a celebration of dance on site, originally presented at Rimbun Dahan, and it is now at DPAC and its vicinity. The module invites dance artists, both local and international, to create works outside the traditional theatre setting. This first city site is a dialogue between dance and architecture. Participating dance artists create short works in response to a particular site, inspired by its architecture or design. From an industrial walkway to a decorative staircase, audiences are taken out of the theatre to observe the conversation between dance and the environment.
