Cheerleader of Europe - Daniel Kok
A solo contemporary dance piece by Sinagporean artist Daniel Kok.
12 October 2016
About
The concept of the piece revolved around Europeans having become impatient and skeptical about the European Project. With no decisive economic recovery in sight – but widespread unemployment, austerity measures and increased immigration fears – the spectre of crisis cast a long shadow across the continent. But one artist, resolute in his beliefs in the constitution of Europe, wished to marshal the community towards a sense of unity. Who better to play the Cheerleader of Europe than the neutral Asian? Hailing from the economic miracle city-state of Singapore, he is Left and Right, East and West, In and Out and shake it all about.
