SEASON 2019/20 SYSTEM Living in an age where everything is gradually becoming digitalised, our perception of the world has changed. For example, the word ‘system’ typically calls to mind computer systems, online systems, digital systems and so on. Following the Oxford dictionary’s definition, a system is a “set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole”.

REPERTORY PLATFORM Repertory Platform (R.e.P) explores full-length works by established local and international choreographers, with the intent to inject current movement aesthetics into the local arts community, thereby raising the bar for artistry.
