This initiative is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to shape the minds and hearts of the next generation. It is an enriching journey that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary education, ensuring that the lessons of the Panchatantra remain relevant and impactful for years to come.

Conducted by our Artistic Director, Janek Schergen will explore a wide spectrum of dance topics which will enable individuals gain a greater insight into the world of dance. From something as detailed as the little rituals that dancers perform before they go onstage, to the creative process a choreographer undergoes to create a new work, the audience can expect to enhance their knowledge of dance and also watch our dancers up-close and personal as they perform excerpts from our main performance seasons. Repertory Treasures Dance companies are always asked what is “new” in the repertoire. It becomes a matter of balance to present a mix of heritage repertoire and new works for our audiences. With an expanding repertoire, as the years progress for Singapore Ballet, certain ballets emerge as the identity of the company and new works are influenced by the style of those particular choreographic pieces. What continues and how we move forward is the alchemy that forms the unique identity and perspective of the repertoire for our audiences. We’ll show you what defines us as a dance company and where we are intending to go in future. Information Source: Singapore Ballet | eventbrite
