cont·act Contemporary Dance Festival is T.H.E’s commitment to the development of contemporary dance in Singapore. The festival supports local independent dance artists, nurtures ideas and arts thinkers, and brings contemporary dance to wider audiences. Since its 2010 inception of a simple week of dance events, the festival’s robust programmes have been energising the local dance scene and growing in its regional significance and global interconnectedness over the years. Echoing the gesture of touch, or contact, the festival celebrates dance as a force that bridges perspectives and experiences, and touches hearts and minds. By hosting international artists and presenters, the festival also plays a pivotal role in connecting Singapore’s dance community with the world.
