RE/PLAY Dance Edit
RE/PLAY Dance Edit
In collaboration with Offsite Dance Project (Japan)
by Junnosuke Tada and collaborator with Kitamari
Performed by Elizabeth Loh, Jaenny Chandra, Kitamari, Ma Yanling, Mario Chan, Sufri Juwahir, Sheriden Newman Tatsunori Imamura
RE/PLAY Dance Edit explores the intent and meaning of re-production through bodily repetition of physical movements. Using pop music, the performers dance until they collapse in exhaustion – and then they get up and do it again, each choreographer-dancer taking a turn at their own approach to the performance.
In this production under the aegis of Tada’s direction, the very foundation and meaning of dance is examined, performance as a format is subverted, and a fresh perspective on dance and performance emerges.
“Is RE / PLAY DANCE Edit a theatre piece or a dance piece? — it doesn’t matter…. what is important is that the piece opens new possibilities in performance.”
Chikara Fujiwara, Dance Critic
RE/PLAY Dance Edit first premiered in Tokyo in 2011 by Tada’s theatre company, Tokyo Deathlock.
This is collaboration with Offsite Dance Project combines the creative energies of Japan’s new wave of contemporary performance artists with those from Singapore. A Cambodian version of RE/PLAY Dance Edit is being planned for 2017.
RE/PLAY Dance Edit celebrates the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Singapore.
