Four new contemporary Asian works are showcased in this programme. RHYMORPHS by Siri Rama is a contemporary presentation of the traditional Indian classical dance style of Kuchipudi. The central elements of this style, narration and rhythm are re-interpreted in this performance of three short pieces. The other three works have been created under the artistic mentorship of Cultural Medallion recipient Lim Fei Shen. Leong Jian Hao's In the Ashes explores the symbolism of the rose, aptly set to the soundtrack from the movie, American Beauty. In The Shaman's Cat, Edwin Wee treads into the world of the paranormal while Liu Xin cuts through the veneer of people who appear to be perfect for each other in Unexpected
Encounter.
These works are performed by students of NAFA's Diploma in Dance programme and they showcase the diversity and versatility that are at the core of its curriculum. NAFA provides rigorous training in ballet and modern dance techniques as well as creative, performance and contextual studies in Asian and Western dance. Together with the opportunity to choose Performance, Choreography or Teaching as an emphasis, NAFA develops dance artists equipped to enter the competitive dance world and make a mark with their budding talent.
