Description At each major arts festival in Singapore, choreographers specialising in Chinese dance attempt, on the one hand, to engage in artistic experiment and, on the other, to reaffirm their cultural heritage in movement. These evening of dance are divided into two 45-minute segments, the first choreographed by Francis Yeoh, a Singaporean now based at the London Institute of Choreology, the second sharing a common theme - Chinese festivals in Singapore - and staged by five local choreographers: Gan Beng Lee, Li Nong, Lu Lai Lai, Seow Yoke Beng and Yan Chong Lian.
