Body language takes centre stage

AN upcoming full-length piece will see T.H.E. Dance Company spearheading a uniquely Asian form of dance theatre with the use of the Chinese form of crosstalk.

Dancers will banter and exchange puns with one another and dance as well, in their own form of mashing crosstalk and contemporary dance.

It's a dance derived by the eight dancers, who come from Singapore, Taiwan, China, Australia and the Philippines, and the creation was a group effort, says Kuik Swee Boon, the artistic director of T.H.E. Dance Company.
