RE : GERAK – When Motion Remember

The Faculty of Dance, ASWARA presents RE : GERAK WHEN MOTION REMEMBERS, a mixed-bill contemporary dance performance that brings together eight choreographic works by Yunus Ismail and Murni Omar. The production features performances by ASWARA students, alumni, and lecturers, reflecting a shared artistic ecosystem shaped through pedagogy, practice, and professional exchange.

The programme assembles a range of contemporary dance works that engage with movement as a site of memory, inquiry, and reflection. Each choreography articulates a distinct perspective, drawing from personal experience, cultural inheritance, and present-day social realities. Together, the works examine how motion carries traces of the past while responding to the conditions of the present.

Audiences can expect a performance that moves between abstract exploration and grounded narratives. Themes include cultural continuity, identity, human relationships, and social awareness, articulated through varied movement vocabularies and compositional approaches. The title underscores a central concern of the production, how the body remembers, translates, and reactivates experience through pergerakan.
