NTU Contempminated

Founded in 2001, the NTU Contemporary Dance Club was first established as a community for modern ballet dancers within the university to develop their passion for dance. Since its inauguration, the club has grown and diversified with dancers of various backgrounds seeking the liberation of dance expression. Rebranded as Contemp{minated} in 2011, the club sought a new direction to propel its dancers and provoke audiences through contemporary works, with an artistic dare to convey themes considered ineffable or pensive.

Under the current guidance of Mr. Marcus Foo of T.H.E Second Company, Contemp{minated} continues to strive towards molding its dancers and inspiring audiences.
