TPAM 2020 #4: Malaysia, Represent!

In our fourth show in a series covering the Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama 2020 (TPAM 2020), we spotlight the Malaysian performer who was featured at the event, dancer/choreographer Lee Ren Xin. We speak with her about how she transposed her project, which involved becoming part of a community through a ritual of daily walking and dancing in Section 19 (Petaling Jaya) for 18 months, into a Japanese context, and what she learnt in the process.
