Art of the Rehearsal

In the back alleys of a series of shophouses – Kampong Glam, Little India and Chinatown, specifically – nine dancers of different cultures are spread across a rooftop, the streets and just beyond a doorway, each rehearsing choreography against the inky night sky. This is Art of the Rehearsal, an all-digital, three-channel installation by multidisciplinary artist Sarah Choo Jing and Shanghai-based cinematographer, Jeffrey Ang – and it’s set in the National Museum’s first experimental space in which art goes beyond the tangible. Bonus: food and drinks are allowed.
