about last night.
"Strong choreographic vocabulary... Wong infused every move with a sense of purpose." - The San Diego Tribune
A pastiche of urban life, this specially commissioned work traverses different events within one night in a city. From the seething anger that erupts as riots take over the streets, to the rowdy revelry of party goers in another part of town, and the intimacies of a couple oblivious to the world outside, dancer-choreographer Tammy L Wong delves into the energies and emotions of the city and its denizens. About Last Night recalls a distant time and place that will cast a light on the here and now. From each moment, connected yet apart, arises a city's pulse, quietly explosive in its unstoppable force.
got this in the sistic buzz mail that they send ever so often. grr. sounds like a dance worth watching. how i wish i were already in singapore!! nonetheless, i like the way the passage so aptly describes the term 'nightlife' in every sense of the word. it also sparked me to think about the bigger picture. how, as we are all engrossed in our own little world of compulsions and emotions, someone somewhere out there is experiencing something different (and probably for a bigger and better cause), and so much else is happening. it only makes one feel small, insignificant and self-blaming for self-centred tendencies, but i guess all this is healthy once in awhile. afterall, that is what plays, dances, musicals.. all the forms of art and its vibrant displays intend to evoke. a stiring of feelings, a train of thoughts, a bout of conscience. maybe that's why, although i have tended to the sciences all my life, i still very much like the arts. the arts, is at its very basic, humanity.
