Creating a tryst across oceans and continents
TWO dancers are warming up in a performance space. He shakes his body and drums his bald pate vigorously. She stretches on the floor like a cool cat. They make small talk even as the audience arrives. The warm-up session continues well past the time the audience have taken their seats and the doors are closed.
Is this just a warm-up or part of the performance? What defines a performance anyway? Can the entire arc of creating a work, rehearsing the work and finally leaving the work be the actual work?
Singapore dancers Ming Poon and Scarlet Yu attempt to crush boundaries and expectations with their new dance The Infinitesimal Distance Between Two Bodies.
