Star choreographers headline triple bill

JAMES Cousins, one of the UK's rising choreographers, will be presenting a work for the first time in Singapore. For its 75th anniversary celebration next week, the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Nafa) has invited him and two well-known local choreographers to work with the students for its triple bill, Still Waters Run Deep.

The local choreographers are Jeffrey Tan, the former resident choreographer of Singapore Dance Theatre (STD), and Osman Abdul Hamid, artistic director of Era Dance Theatre.

Cousins won Matthew Bourne's inaugural New Adventures Choreographer Award in 2011, and has since been commissioned by the Scottish Ballet and National Ballet of Chile.
