BALIK KAMPUNG
The Faculty of Dance ASWARA supported by MyDance Alliance is producing a contemporary dance performance to celebrate the 'Balik Kampung' of 3 of its Diploma graduates. James Kan, Lee Wen Yan and Liu Yong Sean are back for the summer holidays and what better way to let the public glimpse into who they are, what they have learned and possible future directions of these young dancer-choreographers than to present them in a performance. James has completed Year 2 of his modern dance performance program at the Taipei National University of Arts, Taiwan, Wen Yan a Year 2 choreography major while Yong Sean a year 3 performance major, both at Korean National University of the Arts in Seoul. They are students are pursuing their Bachelor of Arts programs on full-scholarship awarded by the foreign universities.
The works are not about "returning home" but a series of solos and group works that are created on themselves as solo artists and the ASWARA Dancers. The ASWARA Dancers are the receipients of the Best Dance Group award at the 8th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards 2010 and are enriching the Malaysian dance scene. Contemporary dance has a much smaller following than popular theatre, and by and large, the audience struggles to "understand" what is being presented onstage. This is one of the main reasons that ASWARA does its best to present performances throughout the year that gives the audience an opportunity to familiarize themselves with contemporary ideas, concepts and styles. It is by watching performances that we can cultivate an interest and appreciation.
