PLAY-PLAY ONLY
Play-Play Only poster
Play is about having fun and not taking things too seriously.
Or is it about learning new skills and establishing the boundaries between childhood and adulthood?
In 'Play-Play Only', Balletbase presents a collection of contemporary dance works from young choreographers. The dancers and choreographers were encouraged to gain confidence and experiment with new ideas to be presented in a low-pressure and informal atmosphere.
The result is 5 short dance works created by Nurulakmal Abdul Wahid and Koh Yea Chin (both recent dance major graduates from Universiti Malaya), Melissa Quek from Singapore, and Yuka Tanaka and Bilqis Hijjas from Balletbase.
For more information, see [ http://www.balletbase.org/ ]http://www.balletbase.org or call 017 310 3769. |

Talk about coincidence... that's exactly how the members of South Jordan met. Thanks to a song writing competition at Indiana University, where a tune written by Michael David Hall attracted the attention of upcoming producers Mike Chan '06 and Bobby Campbell. Chan and Campbell, who then were writing music themselves and in need of a vocalist, invited Hall for a jam session, and in March 2008, South Jordan was formed.
Mike hails from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Bobby from Hagerstown, Indiana and Hall from Chicago, Illinois. Given their various backgrounds and influences, each member brings something of their own to the group. This is demonstrated in their 6 track EP, where songs deviate from upbeat to epic.
South Jordan has a rigorous performing schedule ahead of them in the Fall. They will perform both acoustic and full-band shows within the MidWest region and fulfill their dream of bringing their brand of music to the masses.
