SUMMARY:Mali Bucha: Dance Offering by Kornkarn Rungsawang (Thailand)
DESCRIPTION:Cross material and virtual worlds with up-and-coming choreographer Kornkarn Rungsawang in this ritual-inspired performance that combines dance\, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Rum Kea Bon is an ancient ritual performed at shrines and temples in Thailand where dance is used as a tool for negotiation by humans towards higher beings in a bid to make wishes come true. The charming dancer\, hired as a messenger to access higher beings\, enhances the likelihood of one’s wish fulfilment. \nInspired by this ritual\, Kornkarn created Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, a hybrid constellation of augmented reality\, virtual reality and dance. This immersive and participatory iteration of Rum Kea Bon crosses between physical and immaterial worlds\, with a digital shrine accessible through AR and VR throughout the duration of the performance. Audience members will be able to view\, make wishes and offer flowers to the digital shrine\, with VR headsets present on site for audiences. \nKornkarn thus acts as an interface between the material plane (the real-time audience) and the digital realm (the virtual shrine)\, communicating individual wishes and thanksgiving to higher beings through dance. Flowing as a current throughout Mali Bucha is a belief system that concerns itself with duality—economics and ecology\, image and sound\, old and new\, the mundane and the transcendent. \nThis performance marks the full-length premiere of Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, after being workshopped at various leading platforms in Asia and Europe\, such as Dance Nucleus in Singapore\, Kinosaki International Arts Centre in Japan\, and Tanz Kongress in Germany. As a dancer\, Kornkarn has spent years performing with the renowned Pichet Klunchun and training in both classical and contemporary dance forms. Now as a dancemaker to watch\, she continues to bridge the traditional and contemporary\, reflecting modern cultural impulses of this generation. \nMali Bucha: Dance Offering is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.

SUMMARY:Lapse by Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia)
DESCRIPTION:Known for her bold\, durational solo performances\, acclaimed Indonesian visual and performance artist Melati Suryodarmo premieres Lapse\, a new dance creation performed by collaborators from Indonesia\, Taiwan and Singapore. \nFirst released as two short films\, this iteration marks the live performance premiere of Lapse. Here\, Suryodarmo dives into the metamorphic constellation of body and environment through evocative\, visceral imagery suspended in factual absurdity. With sound design and live music by Yuen Chee Wai from Singapore music collective The Observatory\, Suryodarmo orchestrates movement patterns that steer the group of performers to connect by failures while collectively attempting a new structure and alchemy of senses. \nDrawing inspiration from by-products of chaos and situations that represent a gradual decline in the efficiency\, stability\, and overall functioning of society\, Lapse signifies a transition from a state of order and coherence to one of disorder and confusion. Within this deep-rooted turbulence\, Suryodarmo points to the symptomatic nature of systemic breakdowns\, ethical decline and societal disillusionment of our time. While lapses in society begin to manifest through the decay of behaviour\, diminishing social cohesion\, ruptured institutions and the disintegration of moral frameworks\, the work investigates the unpredictable space between reality and a vision of collective commitment towards change. \nLapse by Melati Suryodarmo is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.
