| Synopsis : | Mcebisi, a South African Xhosa man who swears by his customs, and Joey, a Singaporean woman who an barely speak her Chinese dialect Hakka, decided to start a dialogue. After months of letter writing and intimate sharing of childhood memories, their exchange shifts to the present, as they come face-to-face, finding both common ground and contrasts in each others dance background, personality and physicality. In tracing the minds and bodies of one another, they hope a new dance vocabulary emerges on their creative journey together. The dance collaboration between Joey Chua and Mcebisi Bhavi continues to evolve as a work-in- progress showing in KL followed with appearances in Hong Kong and at Singapore Esplanade's dan:s festival. The finished work will premiere at the FNB Dance Umbrella 2009, a major dance festival in South Africa. Joey, one of Singapore's rising young dancer-choreographers, has been involved in many collaborative projects that have taken her to festivals around the world. Mcebisi is a dancer, choreographer and educator who has been nominated as Most Promising Male Dancer in Contemporary Style at the FNB Dance Umbrella 2001. Both Joey and Mcebisi are currently resident choreographers at Rimbun Dahan, a centre for developing traditional and contemporary art forms in an indigenous environment, just outside Kuala Lumpur. |
