Itโs a wrap for Light Years Choreographers! ๐ซ
From last November, we ran a series of creative dance camps which culminated in a choreographersโ showcase this June. We're incredibly proud of the young choreographers for their confidence, creative energies and collaborative spirits. ๐
Here are some highlights from our latest camp, made possible by the team working tirelessly and mindfully behind the scenes, the artists and venues we got to visit, and of course, all the young choreographers, their families and communities who showed up with so much love and support ๐ฅณ
A big thank you from all of us at Rolypoly Family, and we hope to share more dances and art-making fun at our next edition of Light Years! ๐คธโโ๏ธ

Rounding up our Motherhood series (๐ธ๐ฉ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข ๐บ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐ข๐จ๐ฐ!), Faye talks about how being a parent influenced her approach to safe spaces for children, particularly in providing emotional safety in schools, art spaces and other environments to help them feel seen.
Maintaining safety is a constant effort. The work of building, rebuilding and maintaining safety/harm reduction through our interactions with children and families through our teaching practices is particularly important to us at Rolypoly Family.

A throwback to a year ago! A little chat with Faye and Bernice about how Motherhood shapes and influences their work. In this reel, Bernice talks about her shifting perspectives on safety for children.
Whilst Bernice mothers her baby (๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ข ๐ธ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ณ!), she shares about how matrescence heightened her sensitivity to environmental risk and danger, as her brain changed to prioritise child safety.
Stay tuned for Part 3 to hear Faye elaborate more on how she thinks about navigating safe spaces for children!

Thank you for joining us for the Light Years Holiday Dance Camp in March! ๐คธ
As some of the young choreographers reunited this round, they reminisced friendships made from the previous camp, and recalled exercises and choreography with much detail and excitement. The time passed had allowed them to revisit movements they last made together with fresh eyes, and deeper insight! The young choreographers also got to explore some simple lighting design - thinking about how colour, intensity and timing make a difference to their choreography.
We can't wait to continue making and championing the young choreographers' diverse ideas for movement, and we'll be back with another camp in June! ๐ฅณ
The June showcase will be held in association with T.H.E Dance Companyโs contโขact Dance Festival 2026! ๐
Date/ Time:
22nd - 26th June (Mon - Fri): 9am - 3pmย
27th June (Sat): 2pm - 7pm (includes showcase and closing party)
Venue: Chowk Studios, SG
Come join us at the next the Light Years Holiday Dance Camp! Weโre also on the lookout for submissions of choreography, so do keep your eyes peeled! ๐
