Evolution – a continual process of change. Through time and age, change is the only constant. While this displaces one from comfort zone, it is only with changes that bring progress and advancements. Traditions and stereotypes may be challenged but this paves way for more open mindsets, spurring greater diversity and innovation.
This contemporary dance production seeks to portray different aspects that evolve through time. “ Ego Women ” - In society, the role of women has transformed, deviating from a subservient class to emerge as individuals, who celebrate each person’s unique characteristics. “ How I Wish ” - In life, troubles, stress and frustrations descend as one grows. These rouse yearnings to turn back time to the simple and carefree childhood times.
Apart from original dance pieces by our budding choreographers, the production will showcase an item by Miss Kuo Nai Yu, an experienced dancer previously with the renowned and internationally acclaimed Cloud Gate Dance Theatre from Taiwan. “Restless ” depicts the stirring emotions to strive ahead and pulsating calling to follow one’s heart.

Attitudes . Emotions
Choreographer: Henry Ng Chay Kuang
Embracing the same matter with different attitudes may lead to vastly different outcomes. Face all things with a pure heart, only then would we be able to find our true self.
Script in Transit
Choreographer: Audrey Ng Hui Fang
Evolving from Oracle bone script in pictorial forms to the Semi-cursive script in calligraphy form, dancers explore through revolution, creating characters in motion.
Change
Choreographer: Oei Chu Yan Janice
Change is omnipresent. We live in a world that is ever-changing, and even we, are suscetible to changes. From our lively and carefree days, we move on to our adolescent years where we feel a greater impact in our lives when people come and go. However change is inevitable. There is no escape from change.
Simplicity; Reality
Choreographer: Kenneth Tan Ting Feng
Is the world really as beautiful as we pictured it to be when we were young?
Ego . Woman?
Choreographer: Viv Phua Muiling
Woman. A body. Human being. A character. A being who truly believes in Herself. yet her confidence lies insuperficiality?
Man. Our being. Our character. Our confidence overbears the insecurity of women who want nothing mor than to hide their insignificance.
Are women threatened by man? Is it tre that the female ego does not exist?

From the dawn of man to the distant future, the need to go faster has led to several inventions to increase our speed to the maximum. The advances through time have left us in a never ending race, a race to be faster and faster, to keep up with the others.
