The evening's programme started with Chiew Peishan's Peeling Us, a piece that looked at communication and human relationship. Through the video segments projected through the TV screens, we got to know the dancers better. While it was a good attempt to fuse dance with video/ film, the piece remained a conceptual piece. From an audience's point of view, it did not have a strong dance element and the theme was not explored further.
Indonesian Davit Fitrik's Eat with US drew inspiration from the communal dining. Davit incorporated Indonesian dance movements and yet contemporary in style. The space of the Goodman Arts Centre blackbox was well utilised, and the dancers possessed a different set of energy than the previous piece.
Overall, a good effort by the 2 choreographers and hope to see more choreographers staging new works at this platform.
