Ming Poon

Ming sees movement not only as a physical activity, but also as a social one. To move is to relate. His approach to dance is one where there are no dancers, only people in a constant process of relating as they reach out, converge, meet and separate. Very often, he explores themes of vulnerability, intimacy, peripherality and failures. His works are interactive in design. He creates performances where audience are invited to collaborate. By interrogating and shifting the politics of the body in his works, he hopes to bring about an embodied and empathic way of relating between people.
