All That Is Between
Thursday October 29 | 12 noon
All That Is Between is an ensemble work by Yvonne Ng | 黄碧琬 for five dancers. Inspired by a moment of stillness within the chaos of travel, the choreography unfolds through quiet, attentive interactions where proximity, distance, and subtle gestures reveal the shifting space between isolation and connection. With nuanced physicality and an evocative score, the work invites audiences to consider how individual presence shapes a collective atmosphere, and how meaning, care, and tension emerge through the spaces we hold together.
