Singapore Dance Theatre returns to da:ns festival after SEVEN years! This year, we’re bringing you a triple-bill of neo-classical ballet and contemporary works set against the stunning backdrop of the Marina Bay. We will be performing for the festival on the Esplanade Outdoor Theatre stage for the first time, in a showcase of delicate duets and spirited ensemble pieces.
The evening opens with Piano Concerto No 2, Opus 102, created for our company by renowned choreographer Edmund Stripe, an uplifting neo-classical piece that has captivated ballet lovers and critics alike since its premiere in 2007. This performance features 13 dancers in a fast paced yet graceful dance set to a rousing score by Dimitri Shostakovic.
Created for the company by Kinsun Chan, Sticks and Stones is a powerful dance number brimming with primal and ritualistic energy, and shows off the strength of an all-male cast as they move to a percussive soundtrack by Steve Reich.
Capping off the night is The Third Reset, a new and original piece created for our dancers by our very own beloved Christina Chan! Christina was under the mentorship of our Artistic Director Janek Schergen since 2011, and developed this piece during our Made in Singapore choreographic workshop as part of SIFA 2021 earlier this year.
Experience the beauty and technical virtuosity of our dancers and pieces in one stellar evening of dance by the Marina Bay!
