Perception . 幻.悟 marks a new chapter in NUS Chinese Dance’s history as it presents 2 exciting new works by highly acclaimed choreographers Jenny Neo and Xiao Jing, who are presently the group’s tutors.

Shades by Jenny Neo unveils a picture of a journey through life’s trials and tribulations to find meaning. Graduating slowly from hazy indistinct light and a sense of lostness to increasing illumination as lights get brighter, the path leads to a clearer view of the extraordinary life led, inviting us to reflect on our past with gratefulness.

Enlightenment by Xiao Jing examines the sense of enlightenment as a state of being. At which point do we achieve higher consciousness? Is there a eureka moment or just as flowers of various colours seem to burst suddenly to life with light, do our hearts bloom in life’s moments from becoming into being?

Whether stillness of contemplation or movement and the moment, NUS Chinese Drama‘s Perception invites you on an adventurous encounter with dance and discovery.

国大华族舞团新任的两位指导老师梁杰旎及肖静携手打造《幻.悟》演出。通过光影,探索成长的历程及人生的领悟。

Shades《幻》 编舞:梁杰旎

平凡人生,被一道迷糊的幻光,牵影着走。

走着,寻着,探索着,忐忑不安。

渐渐的,迷糊的光变得清晰了。

这时我回头一望,那是一个不平凡的人生。

值了。

Enlightenment 《悟》编舞:肖静  

这个单词这样的排列,当中的light是得到启示时脑中灵光一现的那种感觉吗?大自然如此玄妙且神秘,似乎让一切的存在都成了可能。而追逐那一束光,向着它奔跑,是一路的修行。

光洒在花朵上,花朵就呈现出不同的颜色逐一绽放,光在人的心里,居然能翻腾出五颜六色的情感,红的稚嫩,橙的阳光,黄的丰硕,绿的鲜活,蓝的冷静,靛的成长,紫的升华。同时,你也可以是红色的你,蓝色的你,或是纯白如你。

这一次在舞蹈上的探索,我更好奇的是观众感觉到的色彩世界,色彩无边界,情感无解释,静静的观察呼吸的长短,肢体的运动,让我们沉浸在光带给我们的奇妙境界中吧。
