ELEMENTS OF FREESTYLE BY ISH DANCE COLLECTIVE (THE NETHERLANDS)

08:00 PM Singapore Standard Time

Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade

Whether you move with sneakers or on wheels—with ISH Dance Collective, it’s all dance. Elements of Freestyle is pure poetry in motion: an adrenaline-fueled explosion of extreme urban sports, dance, music and theatre. This spectacular sensory feast brings together breaking, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX and parkour, highlighting the thrill and artistry of these movements—those redeeming seconds before one nails a complicated trick, the laser focus required in the moment, the ecstasy of complete and total freedom. Directed and choreographed by Marco Gerris, artistic director of ISH Dance Collective and ex-jury member of So You Think You Can Dance, the production features an acclaimed cast of ten performers—breakdancers, freerunners, skaters, a BMXer and a basketball freestyle juggler. The action unfolds on a set that feels as alive as its performers, with scaffolding and ramps that are dismantled and reconfigured before our eyes, against an original music score that captures the very essence of street and urban dance. Witness how this heart-poundingly exciting production captures the unflinchingly bold spirit of urban life for the stage across two exhilarating shows! Elements of Freestyle is part of da:ns focus – FL/OW (The FULL OUT Weekend): four days of street dance and culture—performances, masterclasses, and a party—showing what street dance can be beyond the conventional.
