“Juxtaposition” is the theme and title for this year’s dance graduation performance and will be presented on 2 & 3 February 2006 at the NAFA Studio Theatre. This exciting showcase of new works is a fruition of the students’ exploration of their choreographic ideas and new movement. Be prepared to journey into friendships, love and betrayal and even alien vistas! Politics and humour combine to contrast the students’ Asian roots with their Western dance techniques. Come and be entertained by our talented young choreographers of tomorrow!
