Slow food: liTHE 2019 by T. H. E Second Company | ArtsEquator Thinking and Talking about Arts and Culture in Southeast Asia Articles Malcolm Fu December 10, 2019 By Chan Sze-Wei (1,031 words, 7-minute read) “Dance making in Singapore: an instant noodle culture?” I’ve never forgotten the title of this talk hosted at the Dance Nucleus in 2016 (then helmed by Foo Yun Ying). At the time, local companies and choreographers bemoaned resource limitations and annual grant requirements that seemed to drive everyone to rush through the creation of new dance works in 2-3 months only to show them for two nights, before rushing on to the next “new” idea. Perhaps in response to the sentiment of that time, liTHE, T. H. E Dance Company’s showcase for its training company, was adapted in its 2017-2019 edition to offer a rare continuous platform for three emerging choreographers from within the ranks of the company.
