Where has the time gone? da:ns festival turns 10 this year and it seems like only yesterday when we presented our first edition.

At da:ns festival, our sense of time shifts. As we watch bodies move on stage, or as we ourselves dance, time as we know it, is suspended, and we become attuned to time driven by the body and its unique rhythms in movement. Over the years, we hope the festival has given you several experiences and memories that have expanded your sense of movement, and opened you up to different expressions of dance.

The festival team has had the pleasure of creating this dedicated event, growing a myriad of platforms in our festival that support the development of dance. To encourage more people of all ages to try dancing, we have worked with Singapore dance studios to provide fun and easy dance lessons that everyone can enjoy both inside our rehearsal studio, outdoors along our waterfront and around Singapore. Last year, we welcomed over 28,000 participants to these sessions and the overall da:ns festival has doubled in audience size since it’s first year.

To support the creation of new dance works, da:ns festival commissions, co-produces and provides residencies for artists. This has led to long-lasting relationships with artists we deeply admire for their dedication and creativity, and enabled 23 new dance creations, the majority from Asian dance-makers. So this year, for our special 10th anniversary, we have invited several of these artists to celebrate this special occasion with us, some of whom are marking significant milestones in their own personal careers. We host the legendary Sylvie Guillem, who returns to da:ns festival with her final world tour before retiring from 35 years of dancing, while Singapore choreographer Kuik Swee Boon creates a work that brings together leading dance-makers in their 40s back to the stage. The festival would have not been possible without our supportive audience of dance lovers, the dance-makers who continually inspire us, our festival sponsors and partners who have shared our belief in the significance of dance in our lives, and our group of dedicated festival volunteers—the da:ns Kaki Ambassadors.

With deep gratitude to everyone—thank you for being part of 10 years of da:ns festival together.

welCome message From the Choreographers “As Artists first

And foremost, it simply is A blessing to be bAck onstAge.” – the four choreographer-dancers

thank you all for coming to watch Above 40《四十不惑》. this collaboration has been a long time coming; a special way to mark our decades-long friendships, and our close bond with the esplanade and da:ns festival, which turns 10 this year. When the esplanade informed us that tickets to Above 40《四十不惑》had sold out within two weeks of sales, our reactions were mixed—disbelief, relief that we still had an interested audience, and a huge dose of stress—all before we even stepped into the rehearsal studio!

We see this commission as recognition of our tireless efforts and artistic output in the local arts scene. Amidst a modern throwaway culture of rapid consumption and change, this sends a positive message to fellow artists of our generation and those after.

creating this work has been a particularly memorable process. We have each embarked on fruitful and busy careers in the arts since retiring from the stage—as choreographers, directors, and teachers—making our time together these four months even more precious.

thanks to da:ns festival’s commission, we’ve had the chance to catch up and discover how each of us have matured in artistry and personality. As four individuals who have developed a distinct style of expression over the years, it was inevitable that we arrived with different approaches and aesthetics. in this fine line between accommodating each other’s styles whilst retaining our individual uniqueness we faced the most demanding aspect of this collaboration—yet it is probably also the most interesting element of our performance.

nevertheless the four of us have risen to the challenge of Above 40《四十不惑》by building it upon the most enduring foundation of trust and friendship. We hope you experience the generosity and boundless spirit of contemporary dance through our performance!

Not simply four bodies moving on stage – each gesture, expression and movement by the choreographer-dancers convey more than 40 years of lived experience and hard-earned recognition.

1Swee Boon and Albert have taken a break from dancing since 2012, and Silvia and Jeffrey since 2011 and 2008 respectively.

3 The 4 trailblazers share this youthful trait – breaking away from their comfort zones to dance/study overseas: Swee Boon with Spain’s Compania Nacional de Danza, Silvia at the London Contemporary Dance School, Jeffrey at Queensland University of Technology and Albert with Taiwan’s Cloud Gate Dance Theatre.

5 After 24 years oF FrienDship, Silvia and Jeffrey have still yet to partner in a duet – she has partnered extensively with Albert (for Odyssey Dance Theatre) and Swee Boon (for T.H.E) in past productions.

6 The biggest advantage of creating and performing amongst friends? Taking on personal stereotypes and preconceptions, and being able to laugh at themselves (and each other) in front of 200 people.

7 above 40 Lighting Designer and creative collaborator Goh Boon Ann shares a deep bond with two of the artists – he, Swee Boon and Silvia hail from the same hometown of Batu Pahat, Malaysia.

42008 was the year that the 3 male artists, and then-emerging choreographers, were featured and commissioned by the same presenter: the Esplanade da:ns Festival 2008 (Albert’s Checkmate, Swee Boon’s Pellucid & Jeffrey’s Sometimes I Think I Remember).
