ARTS FISSION's Touring Productions






Length: 8:33
Description: ARTS FISSION is poised to become Asia's leading-edge contemporary dance company since its inception 12 years ago. The company holds the vision of rekindling human spirit by reinventing vernacular movements from urban culture into a new genre of Asian dance theatre. Artistic Director Angela Liong's critically acclaimed SHADOWHOUSES, a dance requiem to the 9/11 terror attacks was the first Singaporean act to open the Laokoon 2003 Festival at Europe's largest arts centre, the Kampnagel Hamburg in Germany. ARTS FISSION, known for its imaginative site-specific works premiered Urban Haiku in collaboration with the T'ang Quartet at the Old Truman Brewery during the Singapore Season 2005 in London, United Kingdom. The company has been actively initiating international co-productions with artists of diverse profiles on global and intercultural issues for the past decade. In 2004/05, the company presented 12 SMS Across the Mountains, a multimedia production involving 5 female Singapore dancers and 5 male Korean dancers, which comments on urban communication of modern Asia with Seoul's Dance Theatre CcadoO for the Seoul International Dance Festival and Singapore Arts Festival. The company just completed its Toronto premiere of Scarlet's Room in co-production with Canadian Princess Tiger Production in July 2006. Most recently, ARTS FISSION became the first Company-in-Residence at the Esplanade, one of the world's busiest arts centres to begin developing a new major work, The Locusts' Wrath with France-based composer Joyce Bee Tuan Koh and other international artists for a world premiere in 2008. The company had also begun its creative process with Composer Mark Chan on a collaboration project, Dreaming of Kuanyin Meeting Madonna to be premiered in the Singapore Arts Festival 2007.
