Choreography

Unseen

2026 - Taipei Caital Ballet

"We take in the world primarily through our eyes. But what we value the most are things that can’t be seen: feelings, ideas, energy, accomplishment, memories, contentment.

What I seek in these project is a way for music to take us outside of ourselves. If through its rhythms and harmonies we give up a literal grip on the now, such experience opens the potential of renewal and even a kind of cleansing joy." (quote from the composer)

Music: Michael Torke

Costumes: Lola Clavel

Ebb and Flow

2025 - Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore

Ebb and Flow takes the audience on a journey from the serene heights of mountain top, cascading down a winding river stream, plunging over a waterfall and ultimately merging into the vastness of the ocean.

This performance reflects the perpetual movement of life, symbolising the constant forward momentum that shapes our experiences and emotions. Each scene captures the essence of nature's rhythms, illustrating how life's journey is an intricate dance of highs and lows, ebbs and flows. As the story unfolds, it serves as a reminder that, like the river’s course, life is a continuous journey of growth.

Choreographed on two compositions by Oliver Davis, Coral Suites (3 movements) and Dream Songs (four movements), the piece is created as two ballets in one, where the dancers are both the main characters and the landscape of this flowing journey, showcasing their individual strengths as well as their team work.

Don't panic

Two friends stuck in an elevator…
