Under the leadership of Artistic Director, Mr Henry Ng Chay Kuang, and Dance Director, Mr Benedict Soh Kian Leng (Victorian College of the Arts – Melbourne University), 8 young and enthusiastic choreographers from Dance Horizon Troupe (Singapore) undertake the challenge to bring "Senses - a rediscovery". This contemporary dance production pays homage to sensations so intimate and intuitive that we sometimes become oblivious to.

 

In a bold and daring move, the production is staged at The Arts House (Chamber) where the audience can have close interaction with the dancers. Unique in style, the dance composition seeks to jolt the audience onto a journey through the senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch while exploring the performing space and dimensions.

 

In a process of rediscovery, the performance presents a stimulating and thought-stirring experience to appreciate one’s senses as well as to take on new perspectives by sensing from one’s heart.

The sense of smell can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back pictures as share as photographs of scenes that had left the conscious mind.

There is always Musix amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.
