Our Art Programme

ENCOUNTERS ACROSS CULTURES 2021

A Journey Through
Dance & Architecture

"We wanted to create an encounter between the two art forms, architecture and dance.

Without question, space and architectural designs play an important role in shaping our experiences and emotions.

Dance expresses and share emotions through the ultimate architecture of nature - the human body. It is one of the most powerful forms of emotional expression.

This art programme explores how movements can be a captivating medium for perceiving, experiencing, and articulating architecture. It hopes to remind us to slow down and observe the details, to dive into our surroundings. To be present within the space. To look up."

- Patsy Lo, Curator and Producer
