Allen “Hey Zaimon, Can I have your music today?”
Zaimon “No.”
Allen “Oh? Well, tomorrow then”

Allen “Ok! But no later!”
On Sunday I went to Taipei to see our good friend Cheng Tsung-Lung and I got to sit in on a rehearsal of “On The Road”, for the designers and production staff! It’s a new work and he said it was different work for him, I think he’s quite nervous, but he has nothing to worry about: Three beautiful, amazing dancers, dancing for 70 minutes (with only a three minute break). There is so much focus that you can understand, empathises, laugh and cry just through watching their eyes. I think this is going to be a really special work! I was very honoured to be there!
The performance runs Friday22nd-Sunday24th July in the Experimental Theatre at the Taipei National Theatre.

I also had a really great chat to Pin-Hsiu about contemporary dance and dance development in Taipei too.
