2014

inBetween is a dance work between two bodies pushing the boundaries of their physical and performative abilities. The work builds upon the concept of liminality, a term that describes the transient phase, the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of rituals. When one "stand at the threshold” between their previous way of structuring their identity, time, or community, and a new way, which the ritual establishes, according to anthropologist Victor Turner.  

The terms" liminality and the in-between" eludes any clear fixation, rather it implies movement, development and dynamics. Central to my choreographic vernacular (physically and conceptually) this work seeks to place opposing forces together and to dissolve the space between the audience and the performer. It seeks a return to movement and the moving form as key commentator. This work was initially conceived in 2014, has an evolving relevance. From the dissolving state of our arts climate to the mass displacement of peoples, this works subversively address this state of global limbo and attempts to establishes an ambiguous environment that encourages one to embrace empathy through entering the unknown.
