In The Third Space, post-colonial culture academic Homi Bhabha’s theory on hybrid identities is used metaphorically to describe Singapore’s increasingly complex cultural landscape. Drawing on their diverse backgrounds, NAFA choreographers Filomar Tariao (a senior dance lecturer who migrated from the Philippines), Ming Poon (a NAFA artist-in-residence who moved to Europe), and Kenneth Tan and Chew Shaw En (both of whom are global trekking NAFA alumni based in Singapore), position their work at the “inter” – defined by Bhabha as the cutting edge of translation and negotiation.
