Curious Steps (2024)

Curious Steps showcases how performers with different abilities can be engaged in dance to express themselves and work collaboratively to present their creative ideas through movement.

Inspired by Australian writer Rebecca Ray’s text, Curious Steps, an interdisciplinary performance by A Little RAW (ALR) Company explores the play between movement and text as a metaphor for uncertainty and a way to approach unfamiliar spaces with curiosity. The cast of dancers with diverse abilities will explore distinct perspectives and creative processes in deriving movement from text. 

Through this immersive 45-minute performance, we hope to uncover the uncertainties in our everyday lives and learn to embrace it. It’s an embodied experience that inspires mindful play and the dynamic interpretation of sound, text and actions from diverse perspectives. The spontaneous interactions between audience and performers further add an element of unpredictability.

Using everyday objects, the audience will be invited to join the performers in discovering ways of feeling the space around them.

hoME (2016)

by A Little RAW

Synopsis

hoME is an inter-disciplinary showcase that explores the varied experiences and memories of where the young dancers live.

Echoing RAW Moves’ umbrella theme for 2016 – SG 51, we want to challenge our young performers by bringing them deeper into their individual exploration of – “What does home mean?” Facilitated by RAW Moves’ company dancers, each young performer was encouraged to define the word “home” based on their own meaning, connection and relationship. Home may be a physical location where you live, a refuge for strength, a nest where you can relax, cook, have fun, communicate with family and friends.
