LATITUDES [Part 1]
Showcase of New Works

27.06.2026 SAT + 28.06.2026 SUN
8pm - 10pm (with 15-min intermission)
Goodman Arts Centre Blackbox

Presented by Dance Nucleus in collaboration with Performance Space and in association with cont.act Contemporary Dance Festival 2026 by T.H.E Dance Company, LATITUDES builds on a decade of artistic exchange between Singapore and Australia.

The inaugural edition features two new and innovative works by the region’s artists-to-watch:

🔸Norhaizad Adam with Hasyimah Harith (Singapore)

50 mins
𝘉𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘪: 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘺 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 explores the delicate interplay between attraction and decorum from the flicker of subtle charm to the bold expression of “berahi” (sexual arousal in Malay).

🔸Rhiannon Newton (Sydney)

45 mins
𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 is a solo dance work that intricately weaves dance and text to make sensuous the ways our bodies entangle us with the world.

🎟: Available via Peatix. (Link in bio)

Each year, Dance Nucleus invites Associate Artists from Singapore to deepen their research and artistic practice with our support.

Beyond presentations on our signature platforms VECTOR, SCOPE, and the upcoming LATITUDES, Associate Artists gain further development through ARTEFACT and ELEMENT residencies with international partners, da:nsLAB coaching, and the new DOMAIN programme.

This year, we’re excited to work closely with the following artists, some of whom we had the privilege to support over the years:

Ashley Ho @asheyho
Hasyimah Harith @p71sma
Hee Suhui / Anise @anise___
Loy @loy____loy
Norhaizad Adam @norhaizad_adam
Pat Toh @pattohling
XUE @111xue111

Follow us to see what the next 12 months will bring.

We are looking for 20 independent performance makers in Singapore to each make a 1-min performance in
response to the theme, Dancing with Fears.

Participants may interpret the theme freely. The performance does not have to be a dance - It could be abstract, literal and everything in-between.

All 1-min performances will take place right after each other and in this way create a bigger body of works.

❗️First come first serve.
