Qing by the Selangor & Kuala Lumpur Kwang Tung Association Dance Troupe is a performance based on an abstraction of the elements of nature such as wind, land, water and mountain. A range of cultural and artistic works such as poetry, music and Chinese landscape paintings have been incorporated into the performance.

The programme is made up of several pieces, each choreographed by one of the senior dancers/teachers at the Kwang Tung Association – Land Search (Michelle Yong), Wind Movements (Kenny Low), Water Ripples (Kenzo de Tuan), Autumn Leaves (Cheong Lin Poo – Artistic Director) and Earth Tracks (Amy Len).

There are two parts to Global Dance 2002.

The first part, 23 – 29 August, is the World Dance Alliance Festival, which will comprise performances, workshops and conferences. Held in Dusseldorf, the festival will offer audiences a truly global perspective, not only through invited artists and dance experts from diverse cultural regions, but by also incorporating different aesthetic value systems. The festival aims to present the ever-changing perspective of contemporary dance.

The second part of Global Dance 2002, 28 – 31 August, will be the International Dance Fair (Internationale Tanzmesse NRW). 1000 sqm of exhibition space will be used by exhibitors such as companies, dancers, choreographers, organisations, schools and institutions, scholars, festival directors, cultural commissioners, arts administrators and so forth from places as diverse as Austria, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, France, Israel, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Russia, USA and many, many more.

(Of note – Malaysia’s own Kuala Lumpur Dance Theatre, directed by Mrs. Lee Lee Lan, will perform in the festival)
