Artistic Director’s Message Ricky Sim Artistic Director “ Sometimes life unveils itself as an allegory - to impart us a life experience. Walk Slowly (慢慢走), is a collaborative movement clinic by Ebelle Chong, Neo Hong Chin, Pat Toh, and company dancers Jeryl Lee and Matthew Goh. In today’s instant gratification and media-driven generation, can we still allow human perceptions to expand our experiences and imagination? The core of this work draws on the daily happenings of each artist and questions the presence of living in the moment of interactions. Henceforth, resulting in a collage of familiar activities that interweaves different viewpoints and sensitivities of the performers. Through this work, I hope that we can understand our five senses beyond their distinct means of perceiving our world. Instead, collectively they enable us to better experience our surrounding. Maybe this is how we can catch the nuances and richness of our daily lives. Let’s slow down, immerse ourselves in the pacing of the performance, and start appreciating why we need to now, more so than ever, walk slowly… Ricky Sim Artistic Director RAW Moves
