What exists between a loss of balance and a meeting with the ground? How can we let go of control, to look for what’s just beyond our grasp? Drawing inspiration from various disciplines of freeriding, this work is an exploration of how our bodies can be a vehicle into flow.

About Hwa Wei-An

Wei-An has spent his whole life falling down, a by-product of the belief that he can, even when he can’t-- — whether that meant trying to spin on his head or backflip before he was ready, or learn how to snowboard on his own. And though he may not be the best at those activities, he's become quite good at falling. He has, in fact, built his contemporary practice around his love-hate relationship with gravity, and the connections this relationship has with the psychological state of flow.

This line of enquiry has led to projects and performances in South Korea, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. Over the course of his career, Wei-An has had the opportunity to work with artists such as the Matej Kejžar, Gabrielle Nankivell, Luke Smiles, Olé Khamchanla, the Dab Dance Project, Richard Chappell, Liu Yen-Cheng, Lee Mun Wai, and Sita Ostheimer.

On top of his choreographic and performance work, from 2017 to 2019 in Singapore, Wei-An organised an annual event called Paradigm Shift. The event brought together street and contemporary dancers in an experimental jam and competition, aimed at discovering creative opportunities that arise when these dance forms interact. Wei-An hopes to resurrect the event in the near future.
