“Short+Sweet: Dance – Week 2” at KLPac
KLPac Presents
SHORT+SWEET: DANCE
A Festival of Dance
Week 1 of Short+Sweet: Dance was warmly received by our local audience with a sold out show this past weekend on the 25th. It’s now the turn for the groups slated for Week 2 of the performances to come out and do their best to dazzle the audience. Don’t miss on all the fun and don’t forget to vote for your favorite pieces for the Short+Sweet: Dance Gala Night on the 2nd August 2009.
After a successful Short+Sweet Theater Festival in 2008, the biggest little arts festival returns with the goal of creating “a more creative world ten minutes at a time”. While the 2008 edition of the festival showcased only works for the stage, the Short+Sweet 2009 festival boldly incorporates 2 weeks of dance performances to further enrich the festival experience.
As was the experience for scriptwriters in 2008, choreographers were challenged to come up with 10 minute pieces that underwent rigorous audition and selection processes before they were shortlisted for the festival. Choreographers and dancers have been rehearsing the past few weeks and are now ready to present their works to the public in 2 weeks of performances beginning 22nd July 2009 and running up until 2nd August 2009.
All dance performances featured in the Short+Sweet 2009 edition will also be in competition for several categories that will be judged by both a professional panel of judges as well as members of the audience based on the feedback forms filled up at the end of each performance. Shortlisted dance performances will be performed again during the Short+Sweet: Dance Gala Night on the 2nd August 2009 where the winners of the individual category will also be announced.
Come and join in the celebration of homegrown creativity and talents by attending the performances and leaving your feedback at the end of the show.
