All that is between

All that is between weaves in elements of ritual, incorporating
gestures that have been deconstructed and reimagined to
create a work that I hope will resonate cross-culturally.
These movements serve as raw expressions of loneliness
and isolation, revealing the solace we seek in familiarity—
whether in solitude or communion with others, inviting
us to reflect on the profound connections that emerge
from shared human experiences.

“Inspired by a transformative moment during a lengthy delay at
Newark Airport, I became captivated by a young man’s quiet prayer
ritual amidst the chaos around us. As he donned his prayer shawl
and tefillin, a palpable calm rippled through the crowded terminal,
illustrating the profound impact of individual stories on our collective
experience. All That Is Between is a movement-based exploration of
the tensions and strengths inherent in our identities, delving into the
paradoxes of collective isolation and connection. Drawing from my
multicultural upbringing in Singapore, I invite audiences to reflect on
the power of movement as a medium for healing and understanding
in a world often marked by dissonance.”
