Venue: Pentas 2, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan, 51100 Kuala Lumpur.

Take Flight! is the first full-length performance by fledgling dance company Balletbase. The program will display the talents of 24 of the brightest rising stars in Kuala Lumpur’s ballet scene, in three new contemporary ballet works choreographed by director Bilqis Hijjas.

Fireworks, a new work that will receive its world premier in this show, dazzles with its passion and technical prowess, as it explores ideas of consuming and being consumed by fire. Flowstone, which Balletbase premiered at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre in September 2006, is an elegant and graceful depiction of the tranquil interiors of limestone caves, and the drama of human explorers who come to witness these natural wonders. The final work, Flight Risk, was premiered at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2005. Incorporating the rich deep movements of Asian martial arts, this work is a meditation on the nature of human pilgrimage in relation to animal travel, specifically the annual migration of birds.

On Friday 16 March and Saturday 17 March, Singapore-based artists Tracy Vanderlinden and Heather Rodocker will perform a contemporary dance work as an interlude between Balletbase works. On Sunday 18 March, the interlude will be a short film about the Kota Damansara Public Park by Novista and the Malaysian Nature Society. As many of the works relate to themes of wildlife and conservation, the performance will also raise awareness about the work of the Malaysian Nature Society.

DIRECTOR

Bilqis Hijjas founded Balletbase in 2006 to realize a lifelong dream of bringing quality performance opportunities to young ballet dancers in Kuala Lumpur. Trained in a wide variety of dance styles including ballet, contemporary, jazz and traditional Asian dance, Bilqis has performed in Malaysia with Sutra Dance Company and with the commercial company Dance Republic. While studying at Harvard University, she performed and choreographed for a number of campus dance companies, and worked under well-known American dance artists at the Radcliffe Dance Program, Carol Somers Dance and the University of Pennsylvania Dance Summer School.

In 2002, Bilqis completed her Graduate Diploma in Choreography at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne. A passion for encouraging the development of young dancers has led her to conduct workshops and choreograph contemporary dance works for high schools in Malaysia and Australia. In 2005, Bilqis co-produced the feet IN first show for the Melbourne Fringe Festival, which included her contemporary dance work Flight Risk.

In addition to directing Balletbase, Bilqis is also responsible for the dance program at Rimbun Dahan, a centre for developing traditional and contemporary art forms just outside Kuala Lumpur, where she is working on establishing a residency program for contemporary dance choreographers. She also has a Masters degree in applied anthropology and international development.
