It's been 7 years since AEP was founded, & I am heartened that the past year has been one with new partnerships, reconnections, & broadening of horizons.
A particular highlight was the opportunity to choreograph for 'Hope Afloat', the Mediacorp Channel 8 TV series. I drew upon my background in ballet & contemporary dance, and learnt about paradance from Kelvin Toh - we had first worked together on 'The Merry Widow' by the Singapore Lyric Opera, in 2004.
Preparation hours were long, the artistes' schedules were tight, but we were determined, and it all came together beautifully on set & on screen. I am grateful.
Photos are from our day on set at Mediacorp, at end-April. The final photo shows the opening tableau I had nicknamed 'Queen Jasmine', featuring artiste Jasmine Sim & ensemble dancers at the start of a dance segment. This choreo did not make it on screen, but perhaps we may look forward to the 'director's cut', sometime!
