A Structured improvisation based on Ravel’s Bolero

Set on the music of Ravel’s Bolero, choreographer Ong Yong Lock reveals the hint of reflection of blo VS old from Bolero. We grow old because we were young. Regardless of what constraints that getting old brings us, we are all longing for the joyfulness of life. The piece will be developed from a 3-hour workshop recruited from the local community or dancers. Based on the rhythmic and repetitive orchestral piece, this dance piece derives from structural improvisation of body movement with dancers and join-in participants.
