Esplanade Presents | da:ns da:ns focus - Out of SiteA Reason for Falling by Hwa Wei-An (Malaysia) An Esplanade Commission
A Reason for Falling is an exploration of the possibilities that exist between a loss of balance and a meeting with the ground. It is a look at what happens when we let go of control, give in to gravity, and embrace the experience of a fall.This work is inspired by the experience of watching freeriding, the practice of riding down unpaved mountain faces on bikes, snowboards or skis. It is one dancer's way of translating these practices from vast, open terrains onto the flat, safe space of the dance floor, and to pursue possibility, wonder, and joy.Through its many iterations, morphing from video installation to several work-in-progress presentations, A Reason for Falling will return to Esplanade in its final form with fresh inspiration and lingering curiosities.This production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Out of Site, a weekend of programmes that invites you to the terrain where extreme sports and dance meet.Production Credits
