“Reflection” has a subtle charm.
It brings us to observe the world from the other angle.
It brings us to imagine the space and sphere that we are living.
How dance and music implicated each other.
Perhaps, they are each other’s reflection.
Let’s explore the dance and music through their “reflection”!

Ren Xin tributes her love for dance to Michelle Lo.
While performing and choreographing for The Human Expression Second Company in Singapore, Ren Xin studied at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. She went on to complete her BFA at the Purchase Conservatory of Dance, and then danced with LeeSaar The Company in New York in 2011/2012. Ren Xin has presented her own works in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the USA, and has performed in works by Wong Jyh Shyong, Choi Myung Hyun, Kuik Swee Boon, and Shen Wei, amongst others. Back home, she recently performed in the Asia Pacific Impro! and d'MOTION Festival. While conditions are tough, Ren Xin finds it makes more sense to make work in the context and community of home. Ren Xin credits her experience of improvisation and instant performance to Keith Henessy, Miguel Gutierrez, and Kathleen Hermesdorf. For her, improvisation is a state, just as performance is a state, just as living is a state, just as Selangor is a state. Just, had to do that.

music composers and sound designers.
In 2011, British visual arts pioneers The Light Surgeons develop
“Super Everything” for which he is composer, musical director and theremin
player, was performed again at the Houston Cinema Art Festival in Houston, USA,
in November 2012, and toured the United Kingdom in March 2013.

Chor Guan introduced groundbreaking concepts that have
revolutionised the way audiences interact with the music or even participate in
the performance. One of his most successful concepts is Mobile Phone Orchestra
(MPO). In Malaysia, MPO was performed in George Town Festival, Melaka Art and
Performance Festival and Toccata Studio Earth Hour. In 2012, he was invited to perform
MPO at The Playable City Sprint at Bristol, UK organised by the British Council

launched New Music Series and Dance=Music series. The aim of these series is to
cultivate a new cultural language for Malaysia that unites various media,
musical disciplines and traditions.
Chor Guan’s film music was awarded Grand Prize in both the
Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival (France) and Art Film Fest (Slovakia). In
2011, he was awarded a scholarship by Goethe Institue.
