Inspired by the complexities of visual artist David Altmed, New Zealand’s Ross McCormack sculpts a multisensory vortex on stage with his theatrical and highly physical choreography; while Singapore’s Kuik Swee Boon, hailed for his mastery of form and aesthetic, pushes the limits of the dancers in exploring the art of the fight.Vessel by Kuik Swee Boon (Singapore)Vessel meditates on cause and effect, where every action results in an equal and opposite reaction.Stripped of embellishment, a dancer’s body serves as his and her most powerful tool of communication with a fellow performer, the choreographer, each audience member.
