Dance at Dusk returns as an annual outdoor series at the heart of cont·act Dance Festival 2026, bringing movement into the changing rhythms of the evening city. Performed by T.H.E Second Company and open to audiences of all ages, it centres a new generation of local choreographic voices this year.

For the first time, the programme features newly created works by Nah Jieying and Kwek Yixuan, Singapore-based choreographers connected to T.H.E through past collaborations and shared histories. Each approaches the stage as a space for exploring how bodies are drawn together and separated. In Apart, Within, Together, Yixuan guides an ensemble through states of waiting, meeting, and return, tracing the subtle forces that gather groups together and release them. In Common Ground, Jieying considers togetherness as something continually negotiated, where individuality, pause, and misalignment remain present within care.

Every performance is hosted by an emcee and supported by Singapore Sign Language interpretation.

Set against the Marina Bay skyline, Dance at Dusk offers an invitation to pause, watch, and spend time with dance.
