Breath 2026

dACADEMY Singapore School of Contemporary Dance is a member of Dancepointe Academy with the shared vision of “Dance as an Education”. Under the artistic leadership of Ms Leia Ang, dACADEMY envisions dance as a humanistic medium to be practised within a supportive community. We aim to encourage individual growth and inspire artistic expression of our students. As such, our classes are designed from the anatomical and somatic (mind-body movement practices) perspectives, facilitated (along with improvisation) to develop each person’s movement possibilities through the medium of contemporary dance.

BREATH is dACADEMY’s annual dance production that showcases both our dACADEMY students, The Apprentice Contemporary Company (TACC) and dTEAM dancers. We believe that BREATH is an experience for students to

I. learn and grow
II. to dance together as the dACADEMY community, and
III. as a platform to share, perform, witness and celebrate students’ achievements

Returning for its 9th year, BREATH 2026 will feature a series of contemporary dance works at the Gateway Theatre Black Box. Performed by dancers from dACADEMY and The Apprentice Contemporary Company 26/27, BREATH 2026 will feature works by dACADEMY’s teaching faculty Leia Ang, Ng Xian Cui, Edina Handali, Paopanga Karunnaraporn, Vera Chiew, Amanda Tan and Emily Jane Gumal.
