Anthea Seah – Monday May 26

Catching Ephermerality

This is a practice in entering and being in cathartic expression, built upon Anthea’s living experiences and work with The Human Expression. The class involves short sequences, responding to described situations and adopting movement languages.

Billy Keohavong – Wednesday May 28

A movement language class that pushes sensation work over form. This class investigates the many layers of the physical body and how character is then manifested through this deep dive. Expect a vast exploration of beast meets bambi.

Haruka Leilani Chan – Friday May 30

Technique Class with Haruka

Being heavily influenced by T.H.E Dance Company’s HollowBody Methodology, we will explore the circularity of movement and push the boundaries of your body’s full range while placing emphasis on the articulation of the joints in the body. Come join me for a boogie to some good tunes 🙂

Kuik Swee Boon – Wednesday June 4

HollowBody™️ is the signature methodology and movement philosophy advocated by founding artistic director and main choreographer of Singapore’s T.H.E Dance Company, Kuik Swee Boon; it is the current methodology with which the dance artists at T.H.E train. Neither a mere movement aesthetic nor an existential state of being, it is an experiential process, utilising improvisational tools to guide practitioners towards a heightened physiological awareness that resonates in their movement choice, approach, and expression.

HollowBody™️ is based on the understanding of the body as the foundation of our world. As a vessel for thoughts, emotions and energy, our embodied experiences and knowledge transcend language and logic. The HollowBody™️ methodology seeks to establish in its practitioner a level of trust and access that can surface these deep impulses and needs, and unearth an innate connectivity between mind, heart, and body. With the practitioner’s curiosities, potential, and limitations becoming wholly available to themselves, self-understanding and creative expression unfold.

Kuik Swee Boon – Friday June 6

Kuik Swee Boon is the founding Artistic Director of The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company and the annual cont·act Contemporary Dance Festival in Singapore. He began his professional dance journey with the People’s Association Dance Company and Singapore Dance Theatre, before serving as principal dancer at Spain’s renowned Compañía Nacional de Danza (CND) from 2002 to 2007 under the direction of Nacho Duato.
Since founding T.H.E in 2008, Swee Boon has cultivated the company’s distinct movement identity through his HollowBody™ methodology — a unique approach to dance training and creation that emphasizes presence, embodiment, and expressive freedom. Developed in 2016, this methodology now forms the core of T.H.E’s artistic practice and underpins much of Swee Boon’s acclaimed repertoire, which has been presented at numerous international festivals.
His choreographic work includes commissions such as Infinitely Closer (2022) for Esplanade’s da:ns festival, which opened Singapore’s Singtel Waterfront Theatre. He has received the Young Artist Award (2007), was nominated for the Benois de la Danse Award (2003), and is a 2021–2023 Singapore Fellow with the International Society for the Performing Arts.
