Led by Li Yong Wei 

Join veteran Li Yong Wei as he shares his extensive knowledge of contact improvisation through a 3-day intensive workshop. Prepare to be introduced or re-introduced to a system of movement both as a communication between two moving bodies that are in physical contact, along with their combined relationship to the physical laws that govern their motion; as well as an open-ended exploration of the kinesthetic possibilities of bodies moving through contact. 

​

Yong Wei began his dance training in ballet, followed by contemporary dance, in Singapore, which led him to further his studies of movement in Arizona State University (ASU). Since graduating from ASU in 2010 with an Outstanding Graduate Student Creative Work Award and a Distinguished Teacher Award, he has continued his practice and sharing of dance/movement in diverse environments.

Yeong has also facilitated dance/movement workshops at King’s Academy, Jordan (2009), Arizona Dance Education Organization, Phoenix, Arizona (2010), America College Dance Festival, Tempe, Arizona (2010), International Dance Festival in Ilan, Taiwan (2011), Contact Festival, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2012, 2013), Mission Improvable Festival, Buffalo, New York (2012), Beijing Dance Academy (2015), and Toronto (2016).

In Singapore, Yong Wei also conducts dance/movement workshops at O’Joy Care Center (part of the Health Oriented Ageing programme), Memories Café (Project by Alzheimer’s Disease Association), Greentree Montessori (a Creative Movement Class) and Nanyang Academy Of Fine Arts (Teaching Improvisation and Contact Improvisation).
