About Habitat
Habitat is a multimedia dance production –
assessing how humans coexist in the habitat(s) in which we live in and how we
adjust to changes in our environments – inspired by our senses, perception, and
quality of life. When we retreat into our physical home what happens behind
closed doors? Our personal space is the environment in
which we become our truest self. The quirks, neurosis, emotional highs and
lows, habits, transformations, etc. This multicultural cast of dancers from
Singapore, USA, Portugal, and Indonesia transcend national boundaries to
share their lives with each other onstage.

About Edinburgh Fringe"Most of Alaine's work is based on some sociological observation or a desire to inform and enlighten through dance. In fact, she epitomizes the best traits of global nomads and is an excellent ambassador."
