ASEM Cultural Festival: 2019 | Between Tiny Cities រវាងទីក្រុងតូច

A hip-hop performance showcasing cross-cultural dance styles and movement

Contemporary dance (duration: 60m) Sunday, 15 December 2019 Círculo de Bellas Artes – Sala de Columnas Madrid, Spain

In Between Tiny Cities រ"ងទ% ក' uងត*ច dancers Erak Mith, from Phnom Penh, and Aaron Lim, from Darwin, use the rituals, movement styles and language of their shared hip-hop culture to reveal the dramatically different worlds that surround them and uncover the choreographic links that unite them. Choreographed by internationally renowned hip-hop dance artist from Sydney, Nick Power, and accompanied by the beats and sound design of Jack Prest, the work blends the raw, wild energy of b*boy battles with skillful improvisation and choreography, offering a cross-cultural perspective on style, culture and locality.

The project is the result of a 4-year dance exchange between Darwin’s D*City Rockers and Cambodia’s Tiny Toones youth programme. The two crews have travelled, trained, battled and performed together, and Between Tiny Cities រ"ងទ% ក' uងត*ច by Nick Power is the culmination of that exchange.
