The Hanoi Dance Fest 2019 will be on stage on June 28 and 30 at The Youth Theatre in Hanoi.
Hanoi Dance Fest 2019 consists of six dance performances with Vietnamese choreographers living in Germany, Switzerland and Vietnam, a Vietnamese-French choreographer and a Scottish choreographer. All contemporary dance pieces will showcase the unique features of the diverse culture of each country.
Hanoi Dance Fest 2019 aims to create a stage for young and talented choreographers, promoting new ideas and diverse multidisciplinary collaborations between local and international choreographers and artists working in different cultural contexts. At the same time, the event will also be a chance for the Vietnamese audience to explore and discover aesthetic values and impressions introduced by contemporary dance.
Dancers
Baydanc
is a group of artists from different artistic backgrounds with an appreciation for freedom, diversity, and nature when making art, going out for a creative journey together with the audience. Random Cubic is a contemporary dance piece which is inspired from cardboard and sticky material like tape, rice etc. Through each Random Cubic, the audience can see the materials in their different aspects and feel the obsession with it, the effect from the materials on the artists and the other way round. Besides the relation between humans and materials, we can also observe that the materials influence each other.
Nguyen Duy Thanh
has pursued dancing for over 16 years so far. He is one of the first artists in Vietnam to combine Hip Hop with contemporary dance language and Asian tradition to create a unique style. Through the distortions and the ways of expression in Thán, the choreographer wants viewers to join the stage, regardless of movement or silence. He only builds the background, and the story unfolds depending on the audience.
Khai Ngoc Vu
is currently a dancer and choreographer at Konzert Theatre Bern, Switzerland. He had the opportunity to both study and work in Vietnam and Europe. He wishes his work could touch the people in modern life. First starting as a ballet dancer, he gradually changed to neo-classical dance, and now he has finally found himself embracing contemporary dance. Into The Well is a journey of Vietnamese looking for their identity, striking through culture challenges and reflecting themselves in correlation with nature.
