Dancing Across (the) Cloud

As the local performing arts try to figure out how to move forward from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are trying various new initiatives that take into account this “New Normal” - which includes many virtual efforts. The Kwang Tung Dance Company is presenting a fundraising project called “Merentas Awan” from July to December 2020, which uses photography and videography to depict contemporary dance in the online space. We speak with dancer Tan Bee Hung from Kwang Tung about the project and about creating performance work in these new and uncertain times.
