Across time and space, dance has given expression to what is shared by all of us: a sense of movement, beauty, rhythm and joy. This performance showcases an eclectic range of dance traditions and styles, drawing inspiration from Javanese, Bengali and Indian heritages—and given a fresh and unique interpretation through the personal journeys of their performers. Join us to experience this dazzling exploration of dance, movement, and identities.
Presented by Migrant Writers of Singapore.
