tiger princess dance projects/Yvonne Ng
present
Two heart-stopping new works choreographed by award-winner Yvonne Ng explore identity and its fluidity, depending on the roles and relationships that surround and involve us. Attraction and repulsion, magnetism and resistance both shape us and shape how we are perceived.
“She may be only 4-foot-10, but in the local dance world Dora Award winner Yvonne Ng (Artistic Director of tiger princess dance projects) is a giant. One of the city’s most expressive and intense dancers (is there any choreographer in the city who hasn’t used her?)” – NOW magazine.
Yvonne Ng
Yvonne is an exciting, instinctive choreographer whose work, inevitably braids her South East Asian heritage and her adopted Canadian culture, has been performed across Canada and internationally.
Yvonne is also the Artistic Director of Series 8:08 (since 1994) and the curator and presenter of dance: made in canada/fait au canada Festival (since 2001), both of which produce the work of choreographers from across Canada.
“My work is movement based and takes my body as the subject and a starting place, drawing from the closest experience of matter that I will ever have – the insides of myself – the interior landscapes of the self.” – Yvonne Ng

“Some of my all-time favourite moments have been when something hilariously awkward happens in public and I catch the eyes of a stranger and for a second we know exactly what each other is thinking.
