About the M1 CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival

 

Billed for its bold curation, residency programmes, commissioning of local and international works across its several platforms, as well as a smorgasbord of workshops and technique classes, the annual M1 CONTACT Contemporary Dance Festival is presented by Singapore’s leading contemporary dance company, T.H.E Dance Company.

Join us in our 8th edition of the Festival as we celebrate the human experience, expressed through the dynamism of contemporary dance.

About T.H.E Dance Company

 

“At the top of its game” – Mayo Martin, TODAY

“Strong, articulate and unmistakably, Asian” – Tara Tan, The Straits Times

Founded in 2008 by our Artistic Director Kuik Swee Boon, The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company is one of the most seminal contemporary dance companies in Singapore as well as in Southeast Asia. Our works attempt to expose different dimensions of the human condition that often go unnoticed in the environment. With our roots firmly planted in the local dance scene, we hope to continue bringing our style of dance to the rest of the world; one that is open, daring and synonymous with quality and sincerity. T.H.E Dance Company is a recipient of the National Arts Council’s Major Grant for the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2017.
