Kuik Swee Boon's On Top of White was a multimedia projection of a person's journey to various parts of Singapore. The videography held our attention and the movement by Jessica Christina was simple but effective, aided by the music of Bani Haykal. While the multimedia elements were interesting, there was not much happening on the actual stage.
In Command Pattern, Jeffrey Tan explored the relationship between man and technology. The merging of dance with computer generated texts was well executed and the projection of texts onto dancers' bodies, and the dispersion of them, did convey the message of men's love-hate relationship with technology.
Zhuo Zihao's 'Felt' Sense was the most ambitious of the 3 pieces, with a heavy dose of technology and the use of 3D glasses. While I admired his adventurous, the cumbersome 3D glasses became a liability and I lost focus on the dance itself. Having said that, this was the piece that really explored in depth the issue of technology and dance.
Looking forward to the second edition.
