Lee Mun Wai takes on the Esplanade Theatre!

Come this 22 August, the spotlight will be on ACS old boy Lee Mun Wai when he takes on the Esplanade’s main theatre with The Human Expression (T.H.E.) Dance Company, one of Singapore’s leading contemporary dance companies.

A true-blue ACSian, Mun Wai graduated from ACJC in 2000. Instead of continuing his studies at the National University of Singapore, he went on to pursue dance at LaSalle College of the Arts and the prestigious Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, both under local and foreign scholarships. He is a founding member of T.H.E Dance Company, which was founded in 2008 by artistic director Kuik Swee Boon, former principal dancer with the Compania Nacional de Danza (Spain) and the Singapore Dance Theatre.

 

 

 

 

In a short span of time, T.H.E Dance Company has established itself as one of the most exciting local contemporary dance companies, having performed several full-length dances at major venues and local art festivals. They will celebrate their first anniversary at the Esplanade Theatre on 22 August in grand fashion by putting up their biggest production to date:

SILENCE - T.H.E First Anniversary,

a moving work that deals with communication breakdown in today’s society.

Come watch Mun Wai perform at the Esplanade!

You will find his efforts are a testimony of the holistic and truly inspirational education provided by the ACS family of schools; an education that urges boys to pursue their aspirations. In the words of Mun Wai’s former Principal, Mr Ng Eng Chin, “rise to the occasion”.
