Love Love Remote Control by Rudi Skotheim Jensen

Love love remote control is a piece regarding the culinary chaos that comprises hunger, taste, growth, polemics and a total food apocalypse. The piece is a tranquil indie poem in word and movement, contemplating the final slice of bread. 

“Love Love…” was started in 2011, in collaboration with technical designer Any Lim based in Singapore. The project was supported by the Norwegian Arts Council with a pre-project. The Arts Council again funded the complete project in 2012-13. Resedencies are currently supported by Subtopia, Fredrikstad County and Xanti.

Notion: Dance Fiction by Choy Ka Fai

Technology meets dance in this lecture performance by artist Choy Ka Fai. Inspired by the evolution of dance history in the last century, Ka Fai conducts a "muscle memory" experiment with dancer Joavien Ng in this boundary-pushing work. In Notion: Dance Fiction, sensors are attached to the body to transmit muscle vibrations into digital notations. These digital "muscle memory" implants attempt to condition the body in recreating a selection of iconic dance choreography.

After the lecture performance, audience members are invited to participate in an experiment for the Bionic Movement Research, if they so desire. Using similar techniques to electrical nerve stimulation, the experiment seeks to choreograph artificial muscle contraction and movement in a body. Don't miss this rare chance to experience for yourself a futuristic vision of "learning" dance gestures through digitised muscle memory.

Si Ti Kay by Noor Effendy Ibrahim

Si Ti Kay are nonsense sounds that express a deep feeling from deeper within.

In and out, up and down, through pathways of purity and corruption, anger and calm, Si Ti Kay tries to makes sense of a mother’s undying love and care for her children dying in the hands of a nonsensical war. It’s about anger. It’s about war. It’s about mother. It’s about finding hope in spite of Si Ti Kay.

Conceptualised and directed by Noor Effendy Ibrahim, this new creation sees Effendy explore themes and artistic impulses inherent in his enduring body of works.

Artist Statement

In the beginning, god created despair, for man to find hope within. I know I have heard someone say this somewhere before sometime back, but I’m not too sure who, when and where. It must have been god herself who had said this through some men. I mean, who else could be that smart to tease men into such futility other than god herself. So there you have it. And here I find myself being teased into my own despair, holding on to too much faith, knowing that hope for me lies deep within. Gingerly, I slide a finger in, resting, probing. Somehow sensing the despair within feels warmer, softer, safer, I slide in another finger, followed by my thumb. But reason suddenly makes me pull both fingers out almost instantaneously, reason that too often leads to greater despair. I am confused. My thumb is still inside.

"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.

Yellow Monkey by Post Ego Dance Company & COLLECTIVE mayhem (Korea and Singapore)

The human psyche is such that we often mistakenly believe that we have self-control. Yellow Monkey is a new dance work that looks at the human psyche and asks: What is the meaning of our existence? What are we striving for? How does a distorted psyche affect our external behaviour? What do we do when we fear being forgotten, demand to be heard and seek release for anger? When irrational behaviour leads to an explosion, are we human or animal?
