Dancing The Malaysian Dance (Sabah) Workshop

ASK Dance Company (ADC) is a full-time professional dance collective that specialises in providing training, workshops, master classes, performances, choreography as well as undertaking collaborative projects in traditional and contemporary genres of dance. At present, the company comprises dancers with a Bachelor of Dance in Performance or Choreography from ASWARA. They have received numerous awards including winning gold medals at World Championship of Performing Arts, Selangor Young Talent Award 2011, BOH Cameronian Arts Awards for Performance, Choreography and other categories, International Scholarships and other distinguished prizes.

The company’s philosophy is that to be alive, one must continuously learn, and thus be unafraid to ASK pertinent questions. Its dance productions serve as a platform for this dialogue, from issues about disenfranchisement to celebrations of life. ASK Dance Company has become a shining example of Malaysia’s plurality danced through its repertoire and the ethnicity of company members.

The company aspires to become a force within the national arts ecosystem with a distinct Malaysian identity providing employment, experience and career pathways for outstanding dancers and choreographers. It further aspires to play a significant role in bridging innumerable boundaries, breaking glass ceilings and bringing dance to the forefront of national consciousness and uplift Malaysian dance onto a global stage.
