NORHAIZAD ADAM
Artistic Director /
Choreographer
NORHAIZAD ADAM explores the equilibrium of traditional and contemporary, while relating to his democratic living and what it means to be a Singaporean Malay today.
He questions the power of socio-politics. Practicing contemporary ideations now, he places his body in the process of social-dramaturgy. A “sympathy body” that is experiencing a dilemma on self-worth. Deconstructing Malay dance, he continually blurs the rules of the form and transmission.
Norhaizad seeks to subvert the presentation of minority identity, advocating towards the context of post-dance.
HASYIMAH HARITH
Company Manager / Dance Artist
HASYIMAH HARITH engages in conversation circles to inform her practice. She rounds up a fearless collective energy to self-soothe and celebrate ‘nafsu’ (lust in Malay). With Malay folk dance training, she questions nature and nurture through the lens of a Malay woman today.
Hasyimah seeks to collaborate with communities and design a pedagogy for Singapore Malay dance that has relevance to contemporary worldly issues. She proposes that transmission of wisdom and values in embodying a form is a change agent in everyday life. Resisting to be a silenced ‘perempuan joget’ (social dancer in Malay), she brings private acts into public space to examine judgement of the female body.
