除了参与舞蹈演出的部分，舞团创办人暨总监马金泉老师也获得北京国际艺术节及中国艺术研究舞蹈研究所合办的研讨会邀请为发言嘉宾。该研讨会在23至28日一连六天举行，每天都以不同主题，轻松讨论当前舞蹈的话题。马老师将于26日，联同香港舞蹈联盟的陈颂英一同介绍亚洲青年舞者的生存策略及创作态势，分别讲解马来西亚及香港的情况。
Dua Space Dance Theatre will be heading to Beijing to present their renowned piece ‘Black & White @ VARIATION’ on 23 July. With this opportunity, Dua Space wishes to showcase the locally nurtured dance talents at the international platform and to have an artistic exchange among the participants from different countries around the world during this international dance fiesta.
‘Black & White @
VARIATION’ is a creative presentation of only black and white colour on stage.
It triggers the imagination of the audience by conveying messages of humanity
and environmental issues in a humorous yet serious manner. Since its premier in
April 2010, ‘the piece was honored as the ‘exclamation mark of
Malaysia performing arts’ and it was re-staged in August the same
year. This time, upon the invitation from Beijing Dance Festival, Dua Space
will perform a 22-minute version of the piece during the Springboard Platform
of the festival. This version was presented in Philippines International Dance
Festival 2011 and it was highly complimented by the participants and the
audience of the festival.
The choreographers, Anthony
Meh and Aman Yap, both graduated from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
After 14 years of developing Dua Space Dance Theatre since their return to
Malaysia, the company has a number of renowned pieces such as ‘Rolling
Thunder’, ‘The Story of Lin Lian Geok’ and ‘Dongdiyin’ which are collaborative
works with local Chinese literature elites that promote cross-over of different
art divines; ‘TWO’, ‘DEN’, ‘The Legend of Hou Yi and Chang Er’ and ‘Anak
Malaysia’ which are the creations of both talented choreographers themselves.
Besides taking part in the performance,
the founder and managing director of the company, Mr Anthony Meh, is invited by
Beijing Dance Festival and Dance Department of Chinese National Academy of Arts
to become a speaker in the discussion forum they organize during the
festival. Anthony and Anna Chan from Hong Kong Dance Alliance
will be sharing their observations on the topic of living strategy and
creativeness condition of Asian young dancers from Malaysia and Hong Kong respectively.
《黑白变》
‘Black & White @ VARIATION’
黑与白，在颜色色系里是两个截然不一样的色谱，领域分明。
Black and White,
colour that totally differs from each other.
黑的，是永远的肯定，从一而终的黑。
Black,
an absolute, no others but black.
白的，象征无染，象征纯真，一切唯白是真，但最容易搅和其他的颜色而丧失自己。
White, represents innocence, but it will easily lose its identity once it blends with the others.
White, represents innocence, but it will easily lose its identity once it blends with the others.
黑，唯一也是仅有的机会，就是搅和白，叫作灰。
The only chance of
black is to mix with white to become grey.

technical achievements.’

muscled body to good advantage……’

“《黑白变》是创意性、艺术性、叙述性和技术性的精准结合，大量的运用气球绝对使Just DANCE!大开眼界，而流行歌剧音乐的伴奏也让人振奋和引人入胜！”
‘Black & White @ Variation was indeed an incredible
combination of creativity, artistry, story-telling and technical proficiency.
The prolific use of balloons was certainly a first for the Just DANCE! team,
and the pop opera music accompaniment was evocative and compelling.’
by Just Dance Magazine
‘I applaud Dua Space for what they
have achieved. You could see the work in it, you could see the craft. So it
feels preserve and grudging of me to resent its perfection.’
