Support the local dance scene, and help promote – especially among our youth - dance’s creative, healthy, positive attitudes to life.

Synergy Dance Theatre (SDT), which has been in operation for almost eight years, has put a great deal of effort into building up the dance environment in Malaysia. The founder and artistic director of the group, Christopher Liew, graduated (First Grade) from the Chinese Culture University, Taiwan. While in Taiwan he won the "Outstanding University Youth Award" and the "Hwa Gang Youth Award" for 2004. He has choreographed many prize-winning dance pieces for Malaysian events. These include "Shakle” (2006 Outstanding Award), "Funeral" (2008 Best Choreography Award), "Rain" (2009 Sabah Champion), "Dance Education" (2011 National Champion), "Road" (2012 Outstanding Award), and "Where Are You?” (2012 Best Choreography Award). Three of these pieces have recently been honoured by being chosen to represent Malaysia in an international dance competition to be held in China in 2012. These three pieces – namely, "Dance Education", "Road", and "Where Are You?" – will be performed for the Sabah public for the first time as part of the Synergy Dance Theatre’s 2012 dance production entitled “No Love Story”

Last year’s performance by Synergy Dance Theatre was "The Legend of Mount Kinabalu" – a dance drama that portrayed the history of the land and people of Sabah. It was a marvelous emotionally-moving experience for the audience.

This year Synergy Dance Theatre will proudly present to you "No Love Story" – a show consisting of a variety of dance pieces. Besides the three pieces that will represent Malaysia in the upcoming international dance competition in August, there is another dance that we particularly recommended to you: “My Story”, a dance duet featuring Chang Hao Heng and Christopher Liew. Chang was a young dancer for the Synergy troupe in 2007 but he had to stop dancing after he found out that he was suffering from kidney failure. Since 2008 he has needed to have dialysis three times a week. However his passion for dance has not decreased. This year Chang decided to perform again even though he knows that his illness imposes limitations on his physical ability. "My Story" is an emotional, heart-warming story. We think that for all the audience it will be a very touching sharing of Chang’s attitude to life, but especially meaningful for teenagers since Chang is only 14 this year!

The passion of this dance duet will be one of the many highlights of the evening’s programme. "No Love Story" is a compilation of 10 dance pieces. You will experience the following pieces: "Dance Education", which promotes dance as a form of education, "Road", which looks at the future of Chinese Cultural Dance in Malaysia; "Where are You?” - a portrayal of Malaysian society; the Chang/Liew duet "My Story" which reflects the passion of life; and of course "No Love Story" itself, which consists of a variety dances by 35 clowns! It will be night rich in emotional experiences. Where else will you find such a creative, uplifting performance in Kota Kinabalu?
