HELIX by T.H.E Dance Company

Helix dance company

20 – 21 MAY 2016 | T.H.E comes full circle this May as Artistic Director Kuik Swee Boon, alongside founding members and husband-and-wife pair Zhuo Zihao and Yarra Ileto, choreograph two new creations in the double bill production titled “Helix”. Through their eyes, the company’s core values and 8-year evolution borne of commitment and sacrifice are writ large. “Helix” is a clarion call to the enduring importance of acceptance, humility and sharing.

Kuik prescribes patience in seeking to rise above the modern quandary – a culture of self-serving egotism. Pragmatism has distorted our original ideals of individuality and freedom of expression beyond recognition. As a man who wears multiple hats – leader, mentor, dancemaker, father – he asks the inevitable question: how does one nurture a young artist to be dutiful to the collective purpose, yet uncompromising of personal beliefs?

HELIX by T.H.E Dance Company is happening on 20 & 21 May 2016, 8pm at SOTA Drama Theatre. Tickets are priced at $28, $38 and are available via SISTIC

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
