The Human Expression (T.H.E) Dance Company was founded in 2008 by Artistic Director Kuik Swee Boon. Rooted firmly in Singapore yet universal in its perspective, T.H.E's contemporary dance works reveal the body as a medium for exploring and celebrating the human condition.

Dance artists at T.H.E are immersed in the Company's signature methodology, HollowBody, which guides them to access their deeper instincts and impulses through movement. The Company's movement vocabulary is distinct in its intensely personal aesthetics, yet thrilling in its diversity. Driven by a sincere desire to uncover the intricate, complex and oft-times overlooked dimensions of human existence, the Company's incisive observations on the human condition and its original creations are an essential mirror to the issues and rhythms of contemporary life.

As one of Singapore's seminal contemporary dance companies, T.H.E has performed and toured at many major local festivals and prestigious international festivals.

Based on its vision of contemporary dance as a medium for nurturing human potential, T.H.E has also actively initiated numerous platforms to engage young artists and the wider public through activities such as our semi-professional wing, T.H.E Second Company, cont.act Contemporary Dance Festival (previously known as the M1 Contact Contemporary Dance Festival), public classes, workshops, and customised programmes for schools and the community.

Driven by a desire to create an inspiring and nurturing platform for local and regional dance artists, we initiated the very first annual Singapore contemporary dance festival CONTACT in 2010. Testament to its quality offerings and indelible impact, long-time Company platinum donor M1 Limited came onboard as the Festival's title donor from 2014. However, due to a recent change in direction, M1 Limited's annual donation has ceased. T.H.E is now on a lookout for new donors and sponsors who can help us to continue to play our part in the local, regional and worldwide contemporary dance scene.

Besides regular productions, international tours and our annual Festival, T.H.E also conducts regular public studio classes and workshops of various levels, and performs in schools and communities to share the craft and the love of contemporary dance. Through the creation and performance of our original work, as well as through our research, practice and training of the HollowBody methodology, we seek to actively engage society and promote thoughtful living where audiences of diverse backgrounds are engaged and included in our conversations.
