TheatreWorks Presents DANCE FOR NOTHING at 72-13, Nov. 23 & 24

TheatreWorks and Goethe-Institut will present Eszter Salamon performing at 72-13 on 23 and 24 November. In Dance for Nothing, Salamon will be performing choreography to John Cage's music, Lecture on Nothing (1949), followed by a discussion.

Dance for Nothing was first presented as a draft by Salamon at TheatreWorks' Flying Circus Project in 2010 at 72-13. It was then performed in Berlin at the festival Tanz that August. Inspired by John Cage's Lecture on Nothing, the performance is a recitation and physical improvisation of Cage's text guided by his principles of composition and writing.

Presenting Eszter Salamon's Dance for Nothing is part of TheatreWorks' aim to present innovative and contemporary performances that have yet to be seen in Singapore; exposing Singapore audiences to alternative perspectives to the accepted norms and mainstream in contemporary dance, theatre and visual arts.

TheatreWorks was also the first in Singapore to present International Artists such as Jerome Bel, Boris Charmatz, Musee de la Danse and Pichet Klunchun. Before Eszter Salamon, TheatreWorks presented The Nacera Belaza Company who performed a double bill performance Le Temps Scelle & Le Trait – Solos in June 2012.

Dance for Nothing will be presented on 23 and 24 November at 8PM. A discussion will follow the 45-minute performance. The 72-13 performance space is located at 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road, Singapore 239007. Tickets are $18 standard, $10 concession for full-time students, NSFs, and seniors above 55.
