Dancing with the Universe

Dancing with the Universe is a dance theatre production co-directed by Vivian Chong and choreographer Kathleen Rea with dramaturge by Tristan Whiston.  Chong performs in the production alongside an ensemble cast of six dancers and cellist Cheryl Ockrant. Dancing with the Universe is an interdisciplinary journey of human emotions that shines a light on grief and resilience. Through her sense of humour and by moving towards that which she loves, Chong finds her voice as a multidisciplinary artist.
