In Singapore, dancer Marco Carrer at a talk on contemporary dance challenges

(ANSA) - ROMA, 19 FEB - The role of dance as a space for cultural dialogue and international collaboration was the focus of 'Lives on Pointe', a meeting hosted by the Italian Embassy in Singapore and dedicated to comparing the Italian and Southeast Asian dance scenes. The talk featured Italian dancer Marco Carrer, prima ballerina Myrna Kamara, and Chihiro Uchida, artistic director of the Kadence Ballet Academy and partner in the initiative. The dialogue explored the artists' professional paths, the challenges of contemporary ballet, and the opportunities associated with international mobility, while also offering a glimpse into the development of dance in Singapore and the region. In his speech, Ambassador Dante Brandi emphasized the strategic value of this cooperation: "Ballet," he said, "preserves an extraordinary tradition and continues to nurture outstanding talent, but today it must face profound changes that require openness and international collaboration.

The event is part of Italy's broader cultural diplomacy efforts to promote dance as a privileged area of exchange between Italy and Singapore. Read article...
