The Third Space
The Third Space
Celebrate the talents and diversity of Singapore’s dance landscape in this dance film by pre-professional dance students from NAFA.
Drawing from Homi Bhabha’s theory on hybrid identities, the ‘third space’ is used metaphorically to describe Singapore’s increasingly complex cultural landscape. With his Thai heritage alongside Western performing arts training, choreographer Supatchai Lappakornkul is familiar with both Asian and Western cultures. He modulates between pluralistic modes of dance and music acumen, and translates physical experiences into virtual spaces. His creative work is positioned at the ‘inter’, defined by Bhabha as the cutting edge of translation and negotiation.
da:ns festival supports the next generation of dance artists through Next Generation, a longstanding platform that collaborates annually with dance education institutions. As dance on screen comes into focus with the rise of technology and the circumstances of the pandemic, the works in this edition reflect this development with new creations for dance on film.
