Drawing from varied facets of the contemporary Asian experience including specific events such as the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami to the situations of daily life and relationships, three young choreographers who hail from different cities in Asia offer glimpses into their lives as urbanites, through exciting new dance works created for solos and duets. Recognised for their cutting edge creativity in dance, our guest choreographers are Hong Kong-based Taiwanese Wu Yi-San - formerly with City Contemporary Dance Company; Davit Fitrik from Indonesia – principal dancer and assistant to renowned choreographer Boi Sakti; and Singaporean Jeffrey Tan – former dancer and resident choreographer with Singapore Dance Theatre.
A co-presentation of CFA and T.H.E Dance Company, Solo / Duet is the inaugural presentation of a unique global artistic collaboration between local and overseas artists whereby dancers travel to various countries to work with choreographers and are immersed in the local culture to create concise works for international touring.
