BREATH

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 production that showcases both our dACADEMY students and dTEAM dancers. We believe that BREATH is an experience for students to learn and grow through dancing together as a community. Simultaneously, it serves as a platform to share, perform, witness and celebrate students’ achievements.

Returning for its 8th year, BREATH 2025 will feature a series of contemporary dance works at Gateway Theatre Black Box in front of a live audience. Performed by dancers from dACADEMY and TAC Contemporary 25/26 dancers, BREATH 2025 will feature works by dACADEMY’s teaching faculty Leia Ang, Ng Xian Cui, Edina Handali, Stanley Cuneta, Paopanga Karunnaraporn and Anna Heward, as well as student choreographer Kong Yan San.
