Dancing in Place: Cross-Pollination @ Rimbun Dahan, Jalan Kuang, Kuang, Selangor (07 & 08/08/10)
When: Saturday, 07 August 2010, 3.00pm & Sunday, 08 August 2010, 8.30pm
In the midst of a 14-acre indigenous Malaysian garden, and in the shade of contemporary and traditional architecture, 13 Malaysian and international choreographers will present a collection of site-specific contemporary dance works for Dancing in Place.
This year’s theme for Dancing in Place is Cross-Pollination. It encourages choreographers to consider how difference – working with artists from other disciplines, working with people from other cultures or abilities, or working in new environments – creates the potential for rich and vigorous hybridities.
As Rimbun Dahan is a private arts centre not generally open to the general public, this is also an unusual opportunity to experience all the delights Rimbun Dahan has to offer, including the medicinal herb garden, contemporary architecture by Hijjas Kasturi, relocated and refurbished traditional houses from Perak and Penang, and indoor and outdoor visual art by local and international artists.
Performers at Dancing in Place this year include Kristine Nilsen Oma (Norway), Elysa Wendi (Singapore), Donna Miranda (Philippines) and Scarlet Yu (Hong Kong), as well nine choreographers from Malaysia including Rathimalar Govindarajoo, Gan Chih Pei, Nurulakmal Abdul Wahid, Muhaini Ahmad, Leng Poh Gee, Fahmi Fadzil and January Low.
Remember to bring your own water, mosquito repellent, light clothing and comfortable footwear. Refreshments will be provided, but you can also bring your own picnic!
For more information about the event and directions to Rimbun Dahan, see www.rimbundahan.org/ or contact Bilqis Hijjas 017 - 310 3769 or bilqis@rimbundahan.org.
Produced by Bilqis Hijjas for the Dance Programme at Rimbun Dahan.
