ECHO II -- A new dance work by Riki von Falken, Germany

"The language of my body echoes a special experience: working with the students at the ASWARA, the national arts academy in Kuala Lumpur, in 2010. For me, there is a connection between the energy of the martial art Silat and my abstract form in dance. I use the particular expressions of the dancers for a meeting of cultures in these two different forms." -- Riki von Falken, dancer & choreographer from Germany

Riki arrived at Rimbun Dahan in mid-October, having already led an audition for her work at Rimbun Dahan and ASWARA earlier in August this year. The eight Malaysian dancers whom she chose have been working intensively with her in the process of creating this work. Echo II follows Riki's creation of the original Echo work with four dancers in New Zealand this year.

Performed by Bilqis Hijjas, Dayang Norinah, Khairi Mokthar, Naim Syahrazad, Ng Xin Ying, Nur Ekmal bin Yusof, Pengiran Khairul Qayyum & Rabiatul Adawiah.
