Body Archives, Dancehouse Asia TOPA Program
What does it mean to be contemporary from different perspectives of training, bodily disciplines and tradition? What is the relevance of traditional sociocultural and corporeal practices to contemporary choreography? Is the traditional and heritage relevant at all to the Asian dance practitioner? Continuing the Contemporary brings together three dance practitioners to shed insights (or not) into ongoing issues of the
traditional/classical as a potent(ial) artistic source, its relationship with the contemporary, and, links made between the past and present in their choreographic and aesthetic practices.
