DANCE DANCE ASIA-Crossing the Movements Choreographer & Director Profiles

TEAM 3T

What if…Just dance

In Asian societies, men are supposed to be the breadwinners of the family. I’ve been told all the time, “Being a Bboy is not a job to feed a family”. Can I keep on being a Bboy and still look out for my family and the people I care about the most? Or should I give up my passion for dance, put on a suit and get a real job…..? Here we have a piece depicting the lives of five Bboy dancers, struggling, stopping, but still choosing to live the Bboy life. It shows the obstacles they face, their own inner demons, and the pressures from society. We’d be really happy if you see “our” story, that we will keep on dancing no matter what problems come our way.

They come with a test. Some pass and some fail. “Inception” is your journey to experience love in music and passion in dance from six artists.They are the cream of the crop across a wide range of genres from martial arts, breaking, hip hop, pop, house and beatboxing. They will stand their ground and pursue their dreams until they come true. Will they succeed? Only you will be their answer in “Inception”.

Our shout-out to you; each individual person is “the one and only”.
