Presented by Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC) and curated by MyDance Alliance, the long-awaited D’MOTION International Dance Festival returns this October! This exciting festival brings together local and international dance artists through a dynamic line-up of performances and special programs, continuing its mission to foster cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural exchange through the art of dance.

Festival Highlights
🔹 MYBody: Malaysian Choreographers’ Showcase
Six renowned Malaysian choreographers present brand-new solo works, using the body as a medium to reflect on personal and social issues through diverse artistic perspectives. These six distinct works offer varied perspectives on the body and its role in navigating self, society, and existence through the lens of contemporary Malaysian aesthetics.
🔹 International Gala: Contemporary Duets from Abroad
Featuring acclaimed works from Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, and the UK, this special showcase presents five distinct contemporary duets exploring human connection, trust, and existence through the language of movement. Five duets, five distinct physical vocabularies, and five reflections on humanity, relationships, and existence — all inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a world of dance beyond borders.
🔹 Dancing in Place: Site-Specific Dance Project
In collaboration with the dance departments of University of Malaya (UM), MARA University of Technology (UiTM), Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI), ASWARA, and Dance Space, this unique initiative invites audiences to step beyond the theatre and experience dance in urban public spaces, reimagining the relationship between movement, space, and spectatorship.
🔹 Masterclasses
Led by this year’s choreographers and artists, the festival offers a range of classes for participants of all levels, covering contemporary and traditional dance, creative exploration, and physical aesthetics.
