What is DANCE on Demand?
DANCE on Demand is a digital initiative that brings the contemporary dance of Germany to Singapore. As the world’s first digital film database of German dance, this collaborative project between the National Library Board, Goethe-Institut Singapore and Deutsches Tanzfilminstitut Bremen combines digitally re-mastered films, photographs and textual information to create an important resource for students and practitioners while providing a rich cultural experience for anyone interested in dance or movement.
It makes it so easy to learn more about each performance piece as well as individual choreographers, dancers, and specific styles.
