How dance comes into being
“The Essence: Body and Materiality”, a show combining contemporary dance and lighting design, will be presented at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre from March 1 to 3.
The aim is to give Thai dancers and choreographers the opportunity and space to present their work in public, to analyse concepts and create the choreography to express them.
“The Essence”, supported by the Bangkok City Ballet and Khopfa Chanpensri, is part of the master’s thesis requirements for Jacksonville University in the US state of Florida.
The programme on March 1 at 7.30pm and March 2 at 2pm will feature “Back and Forth”, “Life: Time”, “Transform”, “Under the Light”, “Floating Lantern” and “The Essence of Body and Materiality of Paper”.
On March 2 at 7.30 and March 3 at 2 you can see “Through the Tank”, “Out of the Box”, “Movement of Incidence Lighting”, “Comment”, “Floating Lantern” and “The Essence of Body and Materiality of Paper”.
