Individual Dance Items
Item #1
- Title:The Rite of Spring
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
The premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s radical composition in 1913 shocked the dance world with its ‘avant-garde’ content. Today, it is considered one of the most influential ballet and orchestral works of the 20th century.
Yamada’s version draws on the same primitive forces that inspired the Russian conductor more than a century ago. Performed by the full extend of her company, dancers throw themselves into the complex rhythms of the frenetic score with intense movement, harnessing their collective dynamic energy to explosive effect.

Item #2
- Title:One ◆ Piece
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
Since its debut in 2004, Un Yamada’s seminal creation – featuring a single-gender cast – has toured internationally and been performed by Japan’s leading women in dance. Following ten years of success, it was revised for the opposite sex in 2014, with new sets, costumes and musical accompaniment introduced to reflect this change.
Now coming to Malaysia for the first time ever, the 2016 show will boast an ensemble entirely composed of homegrown talent.
