Event Details

The Temasek Hall Dance Production 25/26 (THDP 25/26) is Temasek Hall’s flagship annual dance showcase, bringing together dancers, actors, and production members in a large-scale, story-driven performance. Scheduled for 15 March 2026 at the UCC Ho Bee Auditorium, this year’s production adopts a hybrid format combining dance and acting to deliver a cohesive theatrical experience.

The show will take the form of a comedic dance play, centring on a fictional stage production disrupted by an unexpected murder. Through a series of deliberately chaotic performances and behind-the-scenes investigations, the production blends humour, narrative storytelling, and diverse dance styles to create an engaging and immersive experience for the audience.

Bump-in and technical preparations will take place on 14 March 2026, ensuring full technical and stage readiness for Show Day. Tickets will be distributed internally via dancers approximately one month prior to the performance, allowing for controlled audience management and outreach within the Temasek Hall community.

THDP 25/26 aims to provide performers with an opportunity to explore theatricality beyond traditional dance showcases, while offering audiences a fresh, entertaining take on dance productions. The event also serves as a platform for creative collaboration, production learning, and community bonding within Temasek Hall. 

Ticket at $22.00 (Tickets sale starts from 11 February 2026).
