"It Appears That..." chereograph by Ricky Sim


'It Appears That...' is a dance work that explores the state of the human condition through the realms of relationship between people and flowers. The piece is inspired by the idea of Guerrilla Gardening which is the act of gardening public spaces without permission. Borrowing from this man-made 'organic' war, 'It Appears That...' investigates the structure of our environment and ourselves through gardening metaphors: be it 'sowing' the seeds of revolution and reaping the 'fruits of destruction'; or contesting issues through the landscape rather than the person. This cross-pollination looks at how the use of different spaces reaches out to people from different perspectives.
This newly commissioned work by choreographer Ricky Sim takes you on an earthy journey in unexpected ways.

A professional dancer, choreographer and educator for more than 15 years, Sim has worked with many local dance and theatre companies and national events. He has also worked internationally in Asia, America and Europe and has represented Singapore in many international festivals and events.
