Abstract

My aim for this chapter is to use descriptions of the work of some key choreographers and their interconnecting relationships to sketch an impression of Singapore’s contemporary dance scene from the late 1990s to 2020. As it is only a sketch, I apologize for the loss of nuance and complexity of the scene and for companies and artists who may only be mentioned briefly. This is not a history of modern and contemporary dance in Singapore, though the influence of seminal figures such as Goh Lay Kuan and Lim Fei Shen is acknowledged; rather, it is a first-person account based on my experiences as a dancer, choreographer, and reviewer working within the industry at this time.
