Contactless (2021)

Concept and Direction: Jos Baker

Performers: Brandon Khoo, Ng Zu You, Klievert Jon Junia Mendoza, Nah Jie Ying, Fiona Thng, Haruka Leilani Chan

Contactless is a choreographic response to a year spent online and a process at a distance. Our most intimate relationships have moved online, into a distorted space, delayed in time. We speak to people while seeing an image of ourselves reflected back at us, reflected back at them, reflected back at us, reflected back…

As our relationships and our bodies are filtered through the digital space, how does that affect the way we communicate and the way that we see ourselves? Body language existed long before the development of spoken language, text or image, let alone digital communication. Physical expression may be primitive but does that mean that it is no longer essential?
