Item #1

  • Tajuk:Uncommon Ground
  • Sinopsis Item / Nota Program:

    Uncommon Ground is a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary work that depicts a story of two identities coming together in one place, transitioning through frictions, destructions, compromise and progression, concluding with something that extends beyond the sum of its parts. This concepts speaks to an internal and external landscape; a personal struggle to discover and understand oneself and the realities of living in a diverse and ever-changing society.

Item #2

  • Tajuk:Chemical X
  • Sinopsis Item / Nota Program:

    Sugar, spice and everything nice are the ingredients for a perfect little girl! But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient: Chemical X! Chemical X trademark characteristic (in the animated show The Powerpuff Girls) is its ability to produce strength, and this dance represents it perfectly; it has strong beats and strong steps incorporated into the usually delicate ballet steps.

  • Tajuk:Sshhh…..
  • Sinopsis Item / Nota Program:
