Foreword Developments at Dance Nucleus continues apace in the second half of this year. As we gradually establish our operational SOPs*, we turn our attention towards fostering artistic exchanges with partners and artists from the region. Pat Toh’s The Map has been a great example of what we are trying to build at Dance Nucleus. The Indonesian Dance Festival included her as one of their showcased artists this year. In August, Pat attended a 3-week residency in Jakarta, and gave a presentation at the festival in November. After their ELEMENT residency at Dance Nucleus, during which they worked with Mandeep Raikhy as guest mentor, Mandeep invited Chloe Chotrani and Bernice Lee to continue their creative development at the Ignite Dance Festival in New Delhi in October, organised by the Gati Dance Forum. Lee Mun Wai and Lee Ren Xin reworked their collaborative creation at Dance Nucleus and Rimbun Dahan in Kuala Lumpur. This working phase was followed by work-in-progress presentations at SCOPE#3 and at Five Arts Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Fauzi Amiridin and Ayu Permata Sari, from Kuala Lumpur and Yogyakarta respectively joined us for ELEMENT#2 and SCOPE#3 in September, during which they met local artists, Alfian Sa’at, Norhaizad Adam and Amin Farid. In December, we also hosted Angela Goh and Luke George from Australia at SCOPE#4. At the time of writing, we are awaiting the approval of next year’s budget for Dance Nucleus. We certainly hope to be able to do more with and for the artists in Singapore and the region. To more artists talking, sharing, exchanging, experimenting with one another! *SOP = Standard Operational Procedures. A phrase often used in the Singaporean military that is also popular in Singaporean parlance. By SOP here, I am referring to all the administrative procedures our new team at Dance Nucleus has had to set up rapidly over 2018.
