In this age of the machine, what is the role of the body and movement? Our third edition of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN) explores the potential, and limits of the physical body in an era of exponential technological developments and volatile socio-political landscapes. We are thrilled to present the works of three acclaimed dancemakers who work with and within Asia: Known provocateur pichet_klunchun challenges and creates with AI in a new solo work, choy_kafai returns with his notable documentation and archival project, SoftMachine (now in its 10th year), and chunkymove storms the stage with an otherwordly performance amalgamating dance, electronic music and robotic possibilities. Happening from 25 – 28 Sep, find out more at esplanade.com/dans #EsplanadeSG #WonderHere #dansfocus
