Frontier Danceland took the stage first. Christina Chan's Fat Room was how a "framework affects how they (individuals) interact with the space and each other". The dancers were in constant pendulum-like motion. An interesting concept with a good soundscape, I felt however it could be shortened by 5 minutes.
Kavitha Krishnan was the choreographer for Maya Dance Theatre's Quicksiliver V2. The dance juxtaposed contemporary dance and bharatha natyam dance in quick succession, supported by good lighting design. The dance is beautiful to look at, without a strong narration.
Re:Dance Theatre featured Albert Tiong's Bed. As the name suggests, we had dancers rolling on the bed and talked about bed-related activities. I liked the choreography, but wondered if it was necessary to have so much spoken texts.
Dimo Kirilov choreographed Collisions for T.H.E Dance Company, a piece that explored human interactions. The more matured item of the 4 presented, it allowed the dancers to showcase their skills. The piece was beautifully lit.
A good opportunity to catch the major Singapore contemporary dance companies at one go. It was an enjoyable performance, a pity that attendance at the matinee show was not full house.
