Dance

“Craftsmanship” is a process of continuous repetition and refinement. The process takes its toll over time and once exhausted, anything excess is discarded, and true essence is distilled into skill. By using their bodies as a form of artistic technique, the dancers show in the present the culmination of their past experiences. Through dance, are they creating or reminiscing?

With all kinds of questions in mind, the two dancers Ong Yong Lock and Chen Wu Kang will together learn an entirely foreign craft – Wing Chun and Traditional Paper Crafting, starting from scratch. Through which, they will parallel their years of experience in dance, and to reflect on its heritage and the blood, sweat and tears devoted to perfecting the craft.
