Dance Me Through The Dark

By Jacqueline Chang

“Dance Me Through The Dark is a labour of my first love, abetted by the mistress of my destiny.”

Today, during my lunch break in between classes, I decided to take some time to visit a dance photography exhibition by Tan Ngiap Heng. He used to be a dancer himself but now he is a photographer. The photos are deeply thought-provoking as it displays the human body in and of itself as an art form. I also love how he uses the power of words to build up the pondering sentiments within a person upon viewing his gallery. With phrases like “When does a dancer become dance?”, how can one refuse to unravel individual feelings to connect with the display of forms and language?

The exhibition is ongoing from 13-28 Feb 2008, 10am – 8:30pm at the Gallery at The Arts House. Admission is free, the location is convenient, the photos are stunning, so do go check it out. For a preview/sneak peek, you can visit a write-up on the exhibition here.
