Dance is and always has been a salve for many. In times of peril, it offers us inspiration, joy, comfort and healing. Last year was no doubt a challenge, when our dance community was thrown into a state of limbo with performances and events cancelled indefinitely. Singapore Dance Theatre’s (SDT) 33rd anniversary season, Dance From Within, is a carefully chosen response to the community and the Company’s commitment to inspire, unite and persevere through the toughest of times. Season 2021 will present two seasons with live music by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, at the Esplanade Theatre. Anticipate the delightful and comical ballet, Coppélia by Arthur Saint-Leon in March, and the most beloved Christmas classic, The Nutcracker staged by Janek Schergen, in December.

Be prepared to relish in the rich artistry of the Company’s five premieres in Season 2021. SDT will be presenting a World Premiere by Timothy Rushton and a Company Premiere of Ibsen’s House by Val Caniparoli at Masterpiece in Motion; as well as four World Premieres at Passages Contemporary Season by Timothy Harbour, Natalie Weir and for the first time ever in Singapore, Loughlan Prior and Ezikiel Oliveri.

Returning in June is a captivating brand-new children’s ballet choreographed by Janek Schergen, Peter and Blue’s School Holiday. Savour the classical and contemporary works at Ballet Under the Stars in July.

As Singapore’s premier professional dance company, SDT is an ambassador for dance and for Singapore. Bridging any divides and differences to establish resonance for both practitioners and audiences through quality performances as well as engaging educational and outreach activities, SDT constantly seeks to strengthen the appreciation and love of dance as an art form.

Since being founded in 1988 by Goh Soo Khim and Anthony Then, SDT has taken on the mantle of developing the depth and breadth of dance in this nation and region. With 32 years of history behind us, we are deeply rooted in our heritage but are constantly evolving for the future. With an unwavering consistency in our artistic development, SDT has grown and received international acclaim for its brilliance and skill in classical and contemporary works.
