"Censorship always defeats it own purpose, for it creates in the end the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion."

DescriptionSince its inception in 1995, Nyoba and Dancers has been recognised for its contribution to the local dance scene. Up till 1995, the troupe's hallmark for creative choreography and uncharacteristic strength has been evident in works like "When Durian Meets Banana Tree", "Money God Arrives", "Four Men and An Elephant", "Coffin of Rejuvenation" and "Drum Beat Shadow Feat".

Underlining the troupe’s mission is their continuous search for creative modes of expression for any given time and space. Despite their 8-year existence, their passion for creating and practising performance art has propelled them their original boundaries and has become a way of uplifting mind and soul.

Out of respect for the world of nature, Nyoba and Dancers choose to rehearse out-of-doors. By engaging in physical and spiritual dialogue with nature, they hope it will bring about a deeper understanding of the universe and shed light on the concept of 'emptiness'. The dancers also take group retreats as part of their artistic journey to discover fresh, bright ideas alongside their transition through time and space.

The year 2002 was a time of renewal. It heralded the inauguration of three new dancers and a phase of exploration, infusing their Buto technique fundamentals with the oriental influences of meditation, qigong and Zen philosophy. Their search for a new direction in practising performance art continues into 2003. Recent works include "Karmen", "Garden of Eden With Full Blooming Yellow Chrysanthemums", "Happy Birthday" and "Qian’s".
