Phase 1: work in progress - Studio Showing “Nodal Points" features dance works from UTB's core members, exploring the interplay of contrasts; classical and contemporary, local and global, tradition and innovation. It aims to create a space where differences dissolve and a shared language of movement emerges. This production invites audiences to question fixed definitions and embrace the richness that comes from difference, ultimately finding unity in the fusion of diverse voices. Drawing from diverse cultural traditions, movement vocabularies, and artistic disciplines, the production weaves a tapestry of interconnectedness where the edges of identity, form, and style blur into one fluid expression
5 works in progress created namely by ; Shahrin Johry, Sufri Juwahir, Shahizman Sulaiman, Shruthi Nair and Hirzi Jasmin. Each work has its unique expression with the common thread of hybridity present in all works.
Nodal points are understood to be key locations, intersections, or moments where different elements converge, interact, and connect to create a parallel emergent ray. Drawing on the idea of a node, unique but like-minded artistes from various walks of life will be coming together for this production, as "nodal points" who delve in cross-genre practice themselves, to create meaning and connection, or "rays". "Nodal Points" would be the next growth step in UTB's body of work. It has treated it's past work and unique movement language itself as "nodal points"; exemplified by hybridity and a genre-blurring character. UTB dancers view their dance bodies as a lens, where different genres have connected to emerge a unique ray of hybridity.
