RA W M o ves Established in 2011, RAW Moves is a contemporary dance company in Singapore which focuses its establishment, connection and direction of work with the spirit of inquiry. We support cross- disciplinary experimentation in dance through innovation and research, nurture new talents through collaborative investigation and experiential learning, promote dance in the community and redefine the idea of movement. “RawGround: Clutter … should be applauded for giving its artists the space to play and ruminate, and for allowing the audience the rare opportunity to be part of that learning process.” Nabilah Said, The Straits Times, 2017 “Indices of Vanishment … a wonderfully weird work.” Lee Mun Wai, The Straits Times, 2017 S e a son 2 0 1 7 C l u t t er As Singapore is approaching our 6 million mark towards population growth for our tiny country, many would ask, will life be too congested for the little red dot hereon? What will happen to the living conditions, quality of life, work and education, in this fast-changing nation? As well as against other regional countries and the world? So, if ‘Clutter’ is defined as an obesity of mind, environment, humanity, objects and activities, then, is ‘Declutter’ merely eliminating and transforming our space to express our purpose, turning something useless into something useful, being more honest with our relationships or simplifying our lives in order to find our spiritual roots? We question the paradigm of Clutter by looking inside, outside and around ourselves.
